Hai!
Recently, a person commented on my Optical Drive scene asking how to write Ascii to the disk.
That reminded me of a phunlet I had created shortly after publishing said scene.
It was a slight modification of the drive to work with strings!
Like usual, the disk can only hold 1.3KB. But now, it can hold data that actually means something!
This scene also includes a slightly modified disk that's designed to spin faster while sequentially reading/writing. (It's still extremely slow)
This drive was originally intended for use with computers, but my computers were never really intended to work with external drives, so functionality is quite funky. But, theoretically, you can plug the drive into the CPU of a computer and, granted the spring connecting the drive to the CPU is in front of the CPU, it should be able to write and boot with the optical drives. Reading doesn't really work, though.
A simple fix for this could be to remove the regular BDisk/XDisk drive from the computer, but that's a story for another day.
Anyway, yeah!
This drive uses the same protocol to communicate as the BDisk/XDisk drives from my 3 newest computers. Details in scene!
Have phun!
