Booting from a Windows 98 SE floppy disk

How I remind myself to study my #college notes :D

I got the #floppy drive for my Dell #D630 !

First try booting the Windows 98 boot disk in my other post failed due to an I/O error, but all other attempts have worked (it booted up :O ).

#HaikuOS doesn't work well with it right now. Research turned up the fact that Haiku has a "usb_floppy" driver, however, and the D630 seems to use USB in its module bay. Digging around in /dev, I found a char special file for the device (see alt text).

Picked up some #floppyDisk​s at a #garageSale for a buck!

I also bought a floppy drive for my trusty Dell #D630 laptop's module bay. I'll be taking class notes on these... or at least backing my notes up to them so the drive doesn't make too much noise during class when I save.

So... which of these might be unreliable? Sony, #Fujifilm , TDK, #Maxell ?
The 2nd one in my hand doesn't have any brand labeling... gonna save that for unimportant stuff.

All Hail the Elder Gods!

The #ShittyCameraChallenge has been re-born! I have one shitty camera for each day... at least until the end of the year! And because merely using a shitty camera isn't masochistic enough, I'll try to capture a matching #FotoVorschlag motive every day! Today it's 'Candle / candle light', and I open with the 2001 Sony Mavica FD92

Edited, in what can only be described as painfully 😂, on a 400MHz #imacG3 and #lightroom2

Was just curious to see how it was vs the G4 and G5. Spoiler alert... slower ;)

The first #ShittyCameraChallenge month is over. All my shitty Samsung WiFi cameras also have shitty displays, and why not create a collage of "Roses in the rain" from the shitty SH100, and photograph it with the Mavica FD92 for a triple-shitty art installation!?
