In this video I pull the floppy disk out of the cover of my copy of The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming (2nd Edition).

I have this wonderful old book The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming (2nd Edition). It was published in 1997 but is still available for purchase through Amazon.

The book comes with a floppy disk (that’s right: a floppy disk!). I had to buy a USB floppy disk drive to read it. I have made the content from the disk available in a tarball, here: scsi.tgz.

If you just want to read the files, those are here:

Following is a list of products I use which may appear in my videos. Clicking through on these links before purchasing from Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress is a great way to support the channel at no cost to you. Thanks!

Let’s go shopping!

New camera, woohoo!

I am pleased to advise that today my new Logitech BRIO 4K webcam arrived. I have installed it in the booth, and unlike the last one, this one actually works. The implication for me is less stuffing around when it’s time to record videos because I will no longer have to move one camera between two mounts, the cameras are static now.

New computer ‘trail’

I have built a new computer ‘trail‘ out of my old workstation ‘tradition‘. I was able to do this because I migrated the VirtualBox VMs that were running on ‘tradition’ over to QEMU/KVM VMs now running on ‘lore‘.

My new computer ‘trail’ is setup as the recording workstation for the “booth” in my studio. This is good because now I can record at 4K in the booth!

I don’t use Windows much these days but this new studio workstation runs Windows 11 Pro. I haven’t used software RAID on Windows before but for this workstation I setup a RAID1 mirror using 2x 2TB NVMe drives. I was able to configure the block size for the NTFS file system so I picked 2MB (which was the maximum) as this RAID array will only be for storing video recordings (which are huge files).
