#CDROM
Used to: boot cdrom to install OS

Now: visit web site of board management console, insert virtual cdrom from across the network using web serial console, set as primary boot device in bios

Glad we made that easy.

FM Towns Marty 2 repair/restoration complete!

This Marty would not power on, found several bad caps on PSU. C22 on MB was also leaking, replaced all capacitors on all 3 boards for good measure (PSU/MB/CDROM)

Also cleaned and socketed new battery. Reads discs great!

It's really good.
It evokes to me lemmings levels, knytt, windows 95 cdrom puzzle games...
I draw a lot of different stuff but here are some screens from LOVE ETERNAL where I felt like I stumbled into something kinda fresh #portfolioday

As an actual console, it performed exactly like an Amiga with a cdrom, minus the keyboard and mouse. Which is to say you might as well have bought an A600 and a CD drive, honestly

könnte sowas out-of-the-Box - schliesslich verdient Microsoft ja Geld damit. Ich hatte mich geirrt. Vermutlich ist BD+Bluray noch töter als CDRom DVD-Laufwerke in Laptops und Fernseher sind heute schon Streaminggeräte und werden sich wohl keinen Blurayplayer mehr gönnen.

I got an adorable external SCSI enclosure in the mail today so I don’t have a tower of loose SCSI drives anymore. Now it’s starting to look like a Serious Business UNIX System.

Hard not to feel old when things I owned are in literal museum displays. I played the original on a Mac classic after school while my Mum was in staff meetings. I honestly believe that it is at least partially the reason I ended up where I am today - but that's a long story.

You should really buy this bullet hell game, I’ve heard it even has sonic as an extra stage (lie.)

Order 5959-2 Complete!

Sega Saturn (Model 2 VA8) came in for a full capacitor replacement (PSU/MB/CDROM), full service cleaning and a FRAM upgrade!

Now they can play the incredible Saturn library (Including Panzer Dragoon) for many years without losing save data!

Thought ripping CDs was a solved problem? Think again.

One drive: good.
Multiple drives: better.

Oh, btw, I was playing and snapping this from another bit of Polish CDROM goodness: CyberMycha.

It's time for extremely janky Girl Talk, a PC-CDROM game from 1998 that I have barely functioning!
