| penguin42 | (1990) | 21:01 |
| daftykins | what detail! | 21:01 |
| penguin42 | that's almost one sixel each | 21:02 |
| zxmpi | is there an teletext map of the island? :-P | 21:29 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi: Only of Jersey http://www.treblig.org/daveG/teletext-jersey.jpg | 22:23 |
| zxmpi | i was hoping for a map you could put on a floppy disc and read on your 286 laptop :-) | 22:31 |
| penguin42 | well that'll fit in a couple of sectors | 22:31 |
| zxmpi | i remember back then having a map of dublin and ireland on my psion in mid 90s. mind it was a road route map so only had major road and rail networks in <70k images iirc | 22:34 |
| penguin42 | can't you just carry a Domesday disc with you? | 22:40 |
| zxmpi | did they bring out a speccy version yet?! :-P | 22:49 |
| zxmpi | on 300 3 inch discs | 22:50 |
| * penguin42 tries to remember the name of the tapes for the specy/ql/1pd | 22:53 | |
| penguin42 | micro... | 22:53 |
| zxmpi | microdrive | 22:53 |
| penguin42 | ah yeh | 22:53 |
| zxmpi | 180k per cartridge iirc | 22:53 |
| zxmpi | great idea let down by manufacturer and quality control | 22:53 |
| zxmpi | voyager space probes are using essentially the same thing for last 40 years in deep space and still operational | 22:54 |
| zxmpi | it's fun looking at the retro communities now as they adapt sd cards and usb drives to connect and transfer data to 8 bit computers to replace non working tape and disc drives | 22:55 |
| penguin42 | I guess it doesn't have to worry about dust | 23:03 |
| zxmpi | 1.4gb of doomsday laserdiscs divided by 300k per 3 inch disc... over 4666 discs rough guess. gonne be a bit of shuffling needed | 23:55 |
