G4's Floppy Disk Invite

Posted by Joel Johnson, December 10, 2007 5:56 AM | permalink

G4's CES event invitations this year came printed on a 5.25-inch floppy disk. It makes me wish I had a still-functional drive around to see if there's anything on it. (The only one I know I still own is an old TRS-80 and it's sitting in a shed in Missouri.)

HA! I've got a C-64 with a C1540, or maybe it's a C1541, 5.25 floppy in the basement. Probably wouldn't read what's on that floppy tho'.

I still have my Atari 810 disc drive if you want to send it me, if it's empty I can always put Temple of Asphi on it for you.

When the 1995 Led Zeppelin tribute CD "Encomium" was being sent to radio stations, they included what appeared to be a copy of the album on 8-track tape. Full label, track list, etc. (Don't recall if there was a cardboard sleeve cover...)

Of course we had an old beater stereo receiver in the shop that had an 8-track player in it...

Our 8-track "Encomium" proved to be a Kenny Rogers album.
