Am starting to get into vintage PC videogames but I have no idea what the hell what these are supposed to do or fit into. I thought that it was a CD-rom which I do have the ability to play. These easy to figure out how to use or am I out of luck? Any one here a 1980s playing PC whiz?
Rub the metal strip with your fingers really hard to warm up the disk and it should load up.
>>12508827I know this is bait, but just in case it isn't, you will need a 3.5" floppy disk drive. I've heard that modern Windows OSes like to try writing system files to non-write protected floppies, so be cautious of that.
>>12508827You have to take it out of the case first. Then it just goes in like a regular disc.
>>12508827That is a 3.5" single density floppy disc, and you will need a 3.5" floppy drive. I remember floppy discs were available in 8", 5.25", and 3.5". Specifically to that 3.5" disc, it has a storage capacity of about 720KB. Whereas, the double density 3.5" discs had double the storage of around 1.44MB featuring a hole on the opposite side of the write protection hole. When I was a kid, I used to drill that hole in those single density 3.5" discs and format them to double density, but note that a reformat would erase the data already on the disc. For Japanese 3.5" discs, they were formatted with slightly higher capacities on Japanese DOS/V computers.
>>12508838>I know this is baitOf course it's bait, even most kids I have seen today that care about retro games know what a floppy is. Plus that is not the OP's image, it's been posted everywhere from reddit to ebay.
>>12508912KekYou're taking the piss, but I'd wager 5-10% anons here would've fallen for that. Specially if they're not third worlders or younger than 30.I mean... No, that's the way to do folks! It's named floppy for a reason
>>12510757u can get the soundtrack by removing the disk and putting it in a vintage CD player
OH HELL NO
