I'll be taking class notes on these... or at least backing my notes up to them so the drive doesn't make too much noise during class when I save.So... which of these might be unreliable?

Ellie‽I just had a rummage around in a big box o’ random crap I’ve got in the spare room as it occurred to me that I used to have a Zip drive and thought it might be in there. Alas, no, but I did find some of my old Zip disks, plus some other random bits and bobs.I found my old joysticks for my Commodore Plus/4 (very un-ergonomic, I never liked using them even back in the day), the A520 modulator for my Amiga 500 (haven’t needed to use that in ages!), a seemingly unopened floppy head cleaners for both 3 1/2” and 5 1/4” drives (I’ve never even owned a 5 1/4” drive, so that’ll remain unused) and, the bit I’m most looking forward to delving into, 6 CDs worth of audio samples. There must be at least some useful sounds in that lot I can use!I’m sure I’ve still got that Zip drive *somewhere*, I seriously doubt I’d have chucked it. I bloody hope not anyway.<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ZipDisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZipDisk</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Commodore</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Maxell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Maxell</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/SampleCDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SampleCDs</a>

Museum of Portable SoundMaxell-e-brate (1988) was a mix tape of holiday music released by Maxell as a promotional product for the holiday season. Its cover image was a new version of Maxell's famous "Blown Away Guy" advert wherein Santa Claus sits in a chair and has his hat blown back back the sound of a tape.
