      XPost: alt.comp.lang.borland-delphi, sci.electronics.design       From: BloodyShame@hotmail.com              I am not sure what kind of technology these C64 1541 drives used but here is       something interesting in this article:              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_1541              It mentions how the upper tracks were not used because they were less       reliable !              I think the same can be said for some... if not all CD-Media... where the       upper tracks seem to be of much less quality !              Be it media quality or burning quality !              Wow this could actually mean the C64 Disks were more reliable than todays       cd/dvd crap ! LOL.              Will we all be using C64 disks in the future ! LOL ;)              Bye,        Skybuck.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
