Booting from a vinyl record
Found on BOGIN, JR. on Wednesday, 02 December 2020
Most PCs tend to boot from a primary media storage, be it a hard disk drive, or a solid-state drive, perhaps from a network, or – if all else fails – the USB stick or the boot DVD comes to the rescue… Fun, eh? Boring! Why don’t we try to boot from a record player for a change?
The turntable spins an analog recording of a small bootable read-only RAM drive, which is 64K in size.
It's amazing what people come up with.
