And what pops up, something I've wanted since the 80's, Korgs first sampler synthesizer, the same one dad said no to buying for me in 1986, well it was over £3000 at the time


Whats this got to do with old computers I hear you say, well this monster of a synthesizer reads 720k floppy disk's in some alien format, no bother I thought, I have a usb floppy drive that I used to make boot disks for my Akai samplers, the software is available to make the disks, hmmm after serveral hours with dosbox pulling out what little hair I have left I couldnt format any 720k floppys

But wait, whats lurking in the corner of dear fathers loft, my old Gateway 2000, it has Dos on it and more importantly a floppy drive

So theres no option, stripdown and cleanup, off to sally hair and beauty for a bottle of Peroxide cream, after getting some odd looks from the girl serving (bald and buying hair products) and being asked if I had or would like a sally card

The results
Before

During

After

Not too shabby.
