These were used on three car ferries in Scotland, mostly between Gourock and Dunoon but the same vessels were sometimes used on other routes. The Saturn, Juno and Jupiter which were quite fast and incredibly…
Not great, not terrible.
IDE was just coming in (in the UK) in 1990. The acronym got updated to "AT Attachment" because "Integrated Drive Electronics" was generic, and it wasn't as if the older drives had no electronics on them. Much later when…
Matte PETG is available. No affiliation, but: https://californiafilament.com/collections/new . Great when you want the properties of PETG but not the shiny plastic look, e.g. printing things for car interiors. Like GP…
Yep. Sold in the UK as the Tomy ROBO-1. Had great fun playing with it, never knew people had hooked them up to computers. Echoing others' comments, the drive was noisy even when stationary. And it didn't seem to have…
Doing it in parallel, which of course is only an option if you know about it. And templating that into a general approach and having legal folks sign off on that.

I didn't know the TI-99/4A was 16-bit until many years later when the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga were taking over from the Spectrum, C-64 and Amstrad (in the UK). Aside from the refueling tunnels getting a bit tricky…

Doing a CS degree in UK in the mid nineties the parallel computing course was taught in Occam, on Transputer simulators (and a handful of Transputers). Seemed anachronistic at the time as the Transputer had been heavily…
