Booting DOS from a 10’ vinyl

less than 1 minute read

Saw an interesting blog post at boingboing.net today: Booting DOS from vinyl. The original blog post is by Bogin, JR - Booting from a vinyl record where the author walks through the process of capturing audio of a vinyl playing DOS code and then processing it as a DOS boot process just like a cassette player. It is pretty cool.
