Please share and be aware of that – in the worst case – you will NO LONGER be able to install apps from individuals/organizations like @fdroidorg f-droid if they are not an Google-approved publisher/developer!

Für die alten Programmierhasen unter euch hab ich gerade noch was ganz Spezielles ins Internet Archive gestellt. Microsoft's QuickBASIC 4.0 für MS-DOS aus dem Jahre 1988. Deutsche Fassung auf 4 x 360KB 5,25 Zoll DD-Disketten.

Viel Spaß beim Coden!

If you're running Windows and still using WinImage for handling basic floppy disk images, it is time to retire it. It served us well, but there is now a replacement called DiskImageTool that is superior in every conceivable way and is completely free and open source.

The latest version adds a small drag & drop feature I requested, and it's just the final touch that makes it a perfect replacement for me.

Oh yeah, I'm about to enter a new era of CD ripping capabilities!

This is an Aleratech AutoPublisher LS, a disc robot meant for duplicating disks. It is just a USB serial device though that takes commands to control it. This was done as a test with the original software in an XP VM.

I need to figure out how to snoop the serial commands to control it myself for ripping. I'm open to recommendations on that because I'm not sure since it connects as USB.
