Maybe worth looking into. I wonder how much shipping to Canada would cost me.

Came across an old USB floppy drive. I plugged it into my machine and it shows up, but I can't tell it it's actually working or not. When plugged in, it sounds like it's continuously reading, so I kind of want to test it. Can you even buy floppy disks any more?

That said, if I don't have any disks, I guess the question of whether or not it works is moot anyways.

Yeah, I found his videos by jumping down a 6502 rabbit hole.

Oh yeah, I can't see any practical use outside of educational, but for that purpose, it's a fantastic resource.

So, this isn't exactly retrocomputing and it looks like it's from four years ago, but I just found it and thought that many here may find it interesting.

This guy built a simple 8-bit CPU out of essentially discrete logic circuits (from what I've see so far, nothing more complex than a 4-bit adder chip) and explained the entire process.

I was reminded this by another post that I just saw. Was told that it deserved its own top-level post.
