cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

Fembot is cool. I wonder if I could convince her to idle here, though I have no idea if she likes synths/retro stuff or not

<tunixman>

<andlabs>
cause i have one bug in my pocket and the other is hailing a taxicab
<andlabs>
no I don't know what you're talking about

<tunixman>
To be fair this is just another facet of SB8, the pinkertons, and Apple using the secret service for trade secret disputes.
<tunixman>
Or the RIAA using criminal law against people "stealing" music.

rants at great length about the law which he has zero background in
<qu1j0t3>
tunixman: you did a wrong channel i think but feel free to post the link you're discussing, i am sure people in here will be interested even though strictly speaking off topic
<andlabs>
would you like a floppy disk drive with a manual lever lock for a machine famous for using motorized drive mechanisms instead
<Foone>
ahh, 5.25" drives
<andlabs>
yes
<Foone>
I was hoping it was something silly like a 3.5" or zip drive with a rotary lock lever
<andlabs>
it's a shame those don't exist because my suggestion woul dbe to put one inside a Macintosh
<andlabs>
original one
<andlabs>
that would be the comparison for this thing, because the 5.25" drives in the X68000 work the same way
<andlabs>
Sharp were not particularly interested in moving off that format for whatever reason; my X1 turboIII released a year before introduced ~ HD disks ~ to the mix
