finished the Amiga cable and buttoned it up, now audio goes through breakout to the pvm instead of needing external speakers computerfairi.es/media/nsRAewr

you can hear the floppy drive happily clicking away in the backround

(it clicks every second or so to check if there's a floppy in it if there isn't because it mounts it as soon as you put one in, and i guess that is the best way to detect whether or not a floppy was in the drive that commodore could come up with in 1992)

@onf it keeps clicking when there's NO disk in the drive, constantly checking. it stops once a disk is in

@squirrel Heh, maybe they expected it to be switched off when not in use.

@rainwarrior that's up for the program you're running, for example if you run amos it makes the disk stop seeking

@rainwarrior but protracker doesn't do that

and you can get tools for that manually as well

@squirrel That reminds me I should research those. I'm thinking about making an NES oriented BASIC envrionment and there might be good ideas in STOS.

@squirrel It always sounded really cool in the magazine reviews, and there were cool screenshots I guess but I never got to see what the STOS games were actually like back then.
