HAAAHHHH???? HOW? WHAT? THAT IS AMAZING. How can a collection of old floppy drives like the one found on a COMMODORE AMIGA 500? be able to play music? Any way Floppy Drives died off the market the same way as 8 TRACK TAPE, WHEEL TO WHEEL TAPE, MINI DISC, DAT (DIGITAL AUDIO TAPE) RADIO that got RADIO TUBES, BLACK AND WHITE TV SET. How about computer motherboards that contain ISA socket. More stuff no one makes any more COMMODORE 64, ATARI 800, COMMODORE AMIGA, COMMODORE VIC-20, ATARI LYNX There are millions of things out there its not made any more.
do you realize how much that sweet setup would have cost new ? lol bravo. that was the most original rendition of the Imperial March i have ever heard/seen, given that it really does require video to appreciate .

This is my absolute favorite of all floppy drive played Imperial march songs. I've come back to this video several times but didn't realize until now what a great reverb the board they are laying on gives the song! Absolutely evil and wonderful!
How soon we forget. Back in the late 60's it use to be designer for a data center tour to have everyone stop by the chain printers (way before laser and inkjets ).

@@evaldaskowka You dare suggest that the mighty FLOPPY does not have a purpose? Its great for punishment of criminals! Force them to install software on floppys, they will NEVER break the law after that xD
Wow. I used to program 3.5 drives. I did all the code. A long time ago. Not so far away. This is cool. I remember that on launch night it would not work, but i could make the motors work. It sounded good. I pointed my driver to another disk.... Had been up for 48 hours. Later, i had to get the scope up to prove to the hw dudes they wired it wrong. Life in the SV.
Just saying, if you search hard enough there IS a commercial floppy disk controller (long since discontinued for sure) that can run 8 of those drives at a time in one PC without any fancy wiring. Years ago I made a disk duplication machine with em that would run the drives at 4x speed and write both sides of the disk at the same time, eject the disk and print a label (already on the disk) with an inkjet while the next disk was copying. When that thing was running it certainly made some noise for sure, especially when all the disks were different.
This is how I imagine 8-bit music came about. Some tech nerds got bored at work one day and decided to make their floppies “sing”......and behold....the birth of video game music!
The notes are used either by varying voltage or using a pulse width modulator to control the speed the electric motors are spinning. Higher rpm=higher note. Very cool
This is real techno music.
