First time I've seen one operate. Thanks!

What a satisfying sound that thing makes.

I so wanted one of these back in 85 when I was 14. Never managed to get one. I wonder what 14 year old me would have thought of NVME gen 5 storage.

[@markdurber]

I never owned one of those. Thank you for the upload.

Lame video. Half of it he talked about the connectors of the computer!

[@luisluiscunha]

Thank you very much: this was very interesting

Hello, where i can find this demo program?

[@sylviaelse5086]

They worked fine, except when they jammed, which they did with annoying frequency.

[@seraphinberktold7087]

I did not dismantle a Microdrive cartridge yet. But I've read that early cartridges (maybe many?) had plastic spindles which were prone to jamming. Later on they used a metal spindle and these cartridges were way more reliable.
Thank you, you business scrooges! ;-)
