Since I'm going to #Disobey2026 again tomorrow, I made sure to bring some Floppy Museum loot. I'll be wearning my lanyard with three differently-sized floppies (8", 5.25" and 90mm) hanging off of it, and I got "business cards" printed up for the museum.

Check out the cards here:

      CW: Damaged, screaming floppy [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

      So the #Floppy #Museum ate a #Floppy ..

      Additionally, the (first) replacement drive sounded worse than the dead floppy looked..

      But now a new drive is installed, a new floppy disk assembled, and all is again well in museum land.

      90mm (3.5") floppy disk held open, showing two stripes on the medium where the magnetic layer has been completely scratched off by the floppy drive heads. The scratched parts are transparent.

        Trying to optimise http://floppy.museum for (even) older browsers. Some of the issues I'm trying to solve include utf8-to-latin1 translation (the original HTML has some silly double- and triple-byte characters), and variations of JPEG that simply aren't understood.

        Turns out Netscape 2.02 is too easy, so in this picture is IBM WebExplorer v1.1h running on OS/2 Warp Connect. Using the magic "work area" feature of folders (mark a folder as a work area to have the OS manage objects within it as a kind of unit), I can open several windows at once. True multi-process browsing 😉


        OS/2 Warp Connect with four browser windows, a text mode editor editing config.sys, the parent "work area" folder and the launch pad.
