Yeah but this is purely a tat around, mess about with machine. I
don't even want to spend £1 on it let alone £10. Crikey, I must have
known Dick Turpin for too long.... It could be fun to actually
experiment and see how disgustingly slow it is. Just for the sheer
novelty of it :-)
Take care.
Oh, I've just unearthed a 3.2gb drive now also...
Kevan,
Firstly, you must have a LOT of free time!!
It does seem somewhat pointless to keep old drives, especially when
you're aiming to play with/benchmark old hardware... it will perform
at its best (and perhaps achieve what you're aiming for) with a new
(i.e. spun for less hours) or modern hard drive.
But if you're really up for some read/write based laughs, start using
old rom chips - they're bound to take forever.
