The floppy disk was in surprisingly good condition. Even its documentation had an authentic 1980s smell
In the early 2000s, some folks nostalgic for Q-Link takım out to reverse engineer it, which was a success with Q-Link Reloaded launching sometime in 2005.
derece that there were too many OSes to boot from on a 68k Mac (well, Drive 10 was a great utility that did) I continue to rave about it when the subject of CD-ROMs and retrocomputing comes up.
Probably the only difference is shrinking the die process down to something more çağdaş and being able to jack up the clock speed due to using çağdaş processes to create the chip. This is probably another reason for the costs. Such a chip still being produced today would probably be of such low sales volume that the price is going to be jacked sky high to cover the costs of using some contract chip fab to produce it.
