nukecad Posted November 28, 2020 ID:1423912 Share Posted November 28, 2020 LOL, I'm old enough to remember booting from a C30/C60 cassette tape but never thought of hooking up to a turntable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early Atari ST was similar but those had the OS on a 3.5" floppy 'system disc' rather than a cassette. They were only on sale for about six months, later Atari ST versions had the OS in ROM.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted November 30, 2020 Root Admin ID:1424145 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yeah, I remember the floppy boots just never worked or used any myself back then that actually booted from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
