What’s are you doing with a VCR?

I wrote an interface -- I can now copy a 1/2 TV show from my VCR to only 12 8" floppies!

OMG. Back around 1981 my MC6809 homebrew (wire-wrapped) computer used Shugart 8" floppy drives. Cost $400 each. I designed and wirewrapped the controller, wrote the BIOS driver, and interfaced it to Flex09 from TSC for primary storage.

If it weren't for the fact that I tossed out all my 8" floppy media a few years ago, I'd send them to you to augment your collection... :)
