these aren't the drives you're looking for
kevin jones these are not the drives im looking for
Move along
Oh wow guy thanks for the memories 😁
I do not sell death sticks

interesting video
May the Dos be with you.
you won, literally.
+FlamerzZz Actually, the driver for this runs most likely on linux.
D Dos? :d
wortex MS DOS
DOS is an operating system. It looked like "Command Prompt" looks today, ish.
And that's how it all started... The floppotron truly is a wonderful thing, don't you think?
After witnessing the glory of the floppotron, I had to turn in my nerd card because I was unworthy.
Indeed
From humble beginnings to the singing legend of today!
@@jaywolfenstien All who bask in the glory of the floppotron are worthy of nerddom.
and now we have floppotron 3.0
1975: Floppy drives - are squares of future! We respect floppy drives, and always will!
*2011: Uses Floppy drives as a music instruments*
That sort of thing happened very early on. In the early 1980s I worked for a computer shop that sold mostly CP/M machines, but also carried the Franklin. This was a clone of the Apple II that was later found to violate some Apple copyrights and taken off the market, but it was an economical alternative at the time and could run all software written for the Apple.
After hours the owner showed us an amusing product he had run across: very poorly animated line-art porn. Since you couldn't guarantee what sound hardware would be installed, the authors used the next best thing for the sound effects: The floppy disk drive.
Not especially erotic, but funny as hell.
Respectful really.

2022: watching floppy’s making music
That’s a great improvement actually!

LMAO!!! Love it
Commander tear this PC apart until you've found those plans and bring me the floppy disk drives, I want them alive!
Aye Sir!!!!

There's one. Set for screenshot
Have you ever heard the tale of Darth Floppy the Drive? I thought not. It's not a story Mac users would tell you...
You may just made my day :D
Darth Floppy the destroyer of the Macintosh

My first computer was a Mac, with no HDD, only floppies. :D
I feel like this is where the wheels started turning. "I can do 1, I can do 2, what about more..."
Exactly ;-).

Floppy: CD, i am your Father!
CD-Player: No,no! Thats not true!

lmao
"floopy" "youre"

atleast quot it correctly.
wrong: luke, i am your father
correct: no, i am your father.
and you call your self a fan..sad
*These* are the real Deathstar plans.
“What do you do with all those floppy drives?”
Pavel: “I calibrate instruments.”
“Mass Spectrometers? DNA sequencers?”
Pavel: “Not exactly…”
Crazy to see the progress, now that the Floppotron 3.0 has been officially baptized with Imperial March too
The weird thing is that I like this first version better.
This one sounds better
The legend says that this video was on a floppy disk.
+Simsnet so this video in 320*240 pixels is under 1.44mb? Wow that's small.
A zip drive perhaps
Frighten98 on 240 discs xD
fitgirl repack edition. yes you can
just checked 240p is ~3.7 megabytes. you can compress it further and lose some of the framerate to get it down to ~2.4. you could go below that but by that point you wouldn't even be able to tell what's going on.
Luke use C:\jedi\force.txt
+Андрей Лукин Luke use C:\Program Files 86x\Jedi32\force.exe
+Андрей Лукин luke@jedi$ cat /etc/jedi/force
Don't delete system77 (if you know what I mean)
+Wherearethedragons nah more of a dll type of thing or maybe a lua script.
+RainingMarshmallows and steer clear of order66.exe
And to think this evolved into the Floppotron we all know and love. I wonder if these two drives are still in the machine.
Yes, A:\ and B:\ 😛
@@SnijtraM lmao
R2D2 turned to Dark side
Didnt you have to punch a hole in it for that?
Beep beep boop boop
True electronic music
Not electronic, mechanic

mofi der2te I love it xD
The progress you made with the flopotron and all the time and effort it must have consumed until the newest 3.0 version is truly astounding. Great job, we hope for much more 😜
Pozdrawiam.
Just heard the Imperial March on the Floppotron 3.0 .
You had a lot to lern Padawan, and you did 😀
After listening to several orchestra's perform this I have decided this is my favorite version.
@@danrayson you sir are a real hero
8bit music the legit way
3.5" diskettes were introduced during the 16-bit era and were popularized by the Apple Macintosh in 1984, which ran on the Motorola 68000... A 16-bit processor.
The "right" way to do it would be 5.25" diskette drives introduced with many late 8-bit home computers or even compact cassette tapes that found use in many other 8-bit micros of the time.
Sorry to nit-pick, but the Motorola 68000 was a 32-bit CPU! It did have a 16-bit external bus though (much like the later Intel 386-SX chips)
@@AiOinc1 popular on electronic typewriters for the office, on technics & roland music synthetisers, amiga computer (that was better than mac & pc), not just the mac.
I'm so old I remember drilling holes in the corner to turn low density floppy disks into high density. 9 out 10 would re-format to high density and it was still cheaper than buying the actual high density disks. Of course I also remember the 5 1/4" floppy disk days when they were actually floppy.
My man! But I'm so old I recall using a hole punch to punch the other side of a 180KB Floppy to turn it into a double sided 360KB! And I still have them and they still work in my Commodore 128.
@@MXB2001 do you need the cassette tape as well?
¡Memory unlocked! Damn I'm old af, but I remember watching my father doing that to floppy disks. I also remember the 5 1/4" disks, those were odd being so elastic. I remember the .arj files, the compressed files before .rar or .zip, and uncompressing them through MS-Dos. Time flies...
I've seen 8" floppy drives
So do I. AMEN !!
Still as slick as when I first listened a decade ago. With older and more attuned ears I can now hear that it's in a different key than the film version, and I kind of love that just for what it is.
1) abuse some floppy drives
2) ?
3) profit!
He gets it
I can almost hear the bands wearing out...
Years later, this is still the best sounding one on youtube.
Years later this is till the best sounding one on UA-cam.
It's amazing to see the start of the Floppotron. Things have really changed since the start, we're now at V3.0 already
From 2, did spring forth to an army.... a decade of dedication in musical creation... FLOPPOTRON 3.0, is our current gen... What will the next 10 years bring us? Only time will tell...
The video length is 1:23. That's how much MB you get to copy from these things before you get the disk read error.
Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?
Blowtorch the Robot Hahaha
So true
Hello there.
General Failure! You are a bold one.

I made a virus that plays this whilst destroying your files
Can u sent the virus to my computer my ip is 666.666.666.666.666.666
IP addresses are not that long
I lost that virus years ago
connorlovesvideogame The highest IPv4-adress available is 255.255.255.255.
So, YOU FAIL!

I like how he pans around the set up as if he's showing us how he did this and we're supposed to go "oh right, I see now".
Lol exactly what I was thinking.
Coming back after seeing the 3.0 version. Man, so humble still. Love this so much!
Checking this out after listening to it on the flopotron 3.0. man, how far it's come from such humble beginnings
The force is strong with those floppy drives...
when your floppy disk files are corrupted
floppies made for imperial march first, then they realized it could also write and read disks
I am afraid that when your friends from IRA arrive, this database floppy storage station will be up and ready.
Such humble beginnings. Greatness awaited it!
Throughout the years of me using those drives, I often wondered if you could control the tones they make. Now I know. Thanks for resolving a question I've had for 25 years!
This is a real Nerd.
whats wrong with that?
+Zeb Karlsson Nothing, im glad of it thats why i said thats a real nerd
I thought you were fucking Kerby.

I have now heard this many times and still enjoy it. What a hoot.
What was a beautiful sound was listening to an IBM 5150 power up with the new 7 inch by 10 inch hard drive module installed in it back in 1981.
The nerd is strong with this one!
Execute Order66.mp4
Ohhh my god yes. That crunchy sound they make is absolutely beautiful for this.
This was absolutely amazing and pleasing to listen to.
It sounds like a rock version of the song.
yea.. the distortion xD
Came to see again this masterpiece from the version with Floppotron 3.0! 😁
I just saw this video from 10 years ago. Look how far you've come! Awesome!
WOW this still blows my mind, the new one is next level!! Love this project!!!
This is the first video of yours I saw all those years ago. Just goin on a little nostalgia trip bc of the 3.0 launch
Floppy to Hard-Drive: I am your father!
KiithNaabal Floppy to CD*
no. hard drives and floppies existed at the same time and had two different uses in the same computer. and hard drives came first.
Technically, (at least historically) the Hard-drive (Invented by IBM like *everything*) was actually created before the designs of the floppy were even being made in 1967 (info from actual IBM site). So it be
Hard-drive: No, I am your father.
Floppy: nOooOOOooOOOoooOo
Hard drives were first and looked like super washing machines. images.computerhistory.org/storageengine/1956_RAMAC_P1.jpg
I am your FATter
Don't even think about the newer versions just imagine showing somebody this from back in the day.
Hearing this and then going into the 3.0 is incredible
This might just be one of me favorite things on the whole internet! This masterpiece together with the Floppotron: Doom E1M1 pretty much sums up the very best things from my childhood... :-D

Anyone else come here after Master of Puppets? Truly amazing!
Me 😂
OMG it’s like you read my mind
From this to the 512 drive floppotron 3.0. It's been a wild ride following this channel over the last 10 + years.
Watching this then watching what it has become now is such an amazing experience. Best of luck to you and Im always excited to see your name pop up in my post notifications!
Initiation of LEGEND
Why did I watch this vid in 2019?
Why's it so great?
It made me smile so its not a useless device, thank you for sharing.
This video is what drew me to the floppotron, and now that the 2.0 is done with, it comes back in the recommended. Ah good times.
SD cards can't do that - Proof that floppies are better!
The force is strong with this DUOs
Yes, there is a new version, still this one is MY LOVE. It has a special touch you know.
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen or heard anything nerdier. Amazing

Haven't heard that sound for years. This is a badass video!
It's impressive how the production quality of your videos has improved over time
You have failed me for the last time...
"flop me for the last time..."
Mogę użyć tego filmiku do mojego programu o dyskietkach? :)
Oglądałem ten odcinek :D
użyłes a zgody nie dał nawet ci nie odpisał
+Zekrom Pokemon Chuj z nim :)
Just watched all the current Floppotron songs, and the playlists ends where it all began. To think that this simple video is what started the Floppotron... I never new I needed computer hardware orchestra until I found the Floppotron.
I don't know why, but the floppy discs just getting clicked into place is satisfying
It has such a strong and intense sound.. i love it :)
I see the UA-cam algorithm is working as planned. It only took ten years to show up on my feed.
That was incredible. Never considered floppies to manage such a thing until now. Thanks.
"...what polish AGH University of Science and Technology do in their free time..." you are truly geniuos!
got this in my recommended today, its been 10 years since this came out,
I use to go back to this video about once a year, it is so simple but still so great!

Amazing seeing this gem in my recommended 11 years after its release
I think I have this saved somewhere. Crazy that 10 years later his machine is unbelievably more complex.
you have impressed me mode than the last one i watches
Why is it 2022 and I am NOW just now finding this on my feed???
IKR?!
Little did he know, one day he would have an empire of floppy drives
The Format is Strong with this One!!!
10 years later this is in my recommended
Thx algorithm
It all started with this and now there’s Floppotron 3.0.
In fact, this first version measures up to the new challenge.Floppotron 3.0 is Disney Star Wars, this is the original trilogy.
This popped up in my recommended and I'M GLAD!!
Why did it take the UA-cam algorithm 11 years to figure out I definitely wanted to watch this?!?!? This is awesome.
Not gonna lie, may have headbanged to this "cover"!
Some floppy drives have capabilities some consider to be unnatural...
truly magnificent
É um trabalho incrível. Vi no passado e voltei para curtir novamente. Grato!
Yt algorithm has again brought us together to listen to 10 year old Floppy music
POV : you're comparing the original to the 3.0
Your 2011 self would be amazed at the progress you made over the next 9 years.
I don't think I have seen the beginning of the Floppotron. My child, you have come so far.
I'm guessing this was where the Floppotron began?
Then a legend was born.

how can anyone give these videos dislikes get out of here
