If you got together 17 floppies you might have enough to run Doom on
He runs Mac OS Chess on it.
I don’t fully remember, but original DOOM came on one floppy, I think.
Edit. Looks like it was four floppies. Probably the shareware version fit on one.
Edit2: I’m just misremembering. Shareware Doom was 2.4 MB.
Edit3: there was also a one floppy version
Yes the install media is on a floppy but the required HD space to run it is listed as 24MB.
This is exactly as terrible as I figured it was gonna be.
34 floppy readers/floppies. 4 DOA. 13 usable in RAID.
Wish the guy got any good benchmark tool instead of just using mac system monitor. Finder seemed to think a file transfer was writing up to 1MB/s which sounds high to me even for 13 drives, but we won’t know until someone else does it.
Considering the vintage of the system. USB 1 caps out around 1Mb. So its more likely than you think. 13 drives at 78.7 Kbps would easily do that. And considering each floppy should be capable of 250Kbps it’s capable of much more.
