well hello everyone and welcome back to Adrian's digital basement on today's video I'm going to cover a topic that I seem to get questions about a lot and it's how I go around and make discs for various systems that I work on in this video I'm going to be giving my PC that I usually use to do this task which is this computer right here an upgrade so I can read and write more disk types than I can in this machine so without further Ado let's get right to it [Music] thank you foreign if you're into Retro computers and you probably aren't you're watching this channel one of the most difficult thing about using these old computers is the fact that the disks that are used to store programs and load games and stuff like that can be very difficult to get your hands on now you might be lucky and have a required an old computer or maybe you already had yours from when you were a youth that still has all the floppy disks and they work well what if you want to download a piece of software off the internet and then use it on your old computer and that means you have to put it onto a disk or you could potentially be buying an old computer whether it be a Dos PC or a lot of other computers that use floppy disk and it didn't even come with any disks and of course if you had that computer when you were young all those discs are gone so now you have no way to use the computer now I wish I could tell you that there was one machine you could set up or something you could buy that could read and write every single disk format super easily unfortunately that's just not the case it's a little bit more complicated than that now there exists commercial disk archiving systems like this here the cryoflux and there's an OP open source alternative called the grease weasel plus I think there's something called the zoom floppy and are specifically designed to hook up to a modern computer and allow you to Archive basically read in the data off a disk onto a modern computer a Mac windows or Linux PC typically the data from these types of devices is actually saved to something called a stream file which actually records the actual magnetic flux information that's on the disk well a digital version of it into a large file on your computer that's basically an exact replica of the disk these things are great if you're trying to recover disks that are partially bad or they have copy protection things like that and it is possible to take that stream file and then reverse it basically write that back onto a physical disk and that absolutely does work with these you start to run into problems with these disk archival systems...
