====== Truckload of Disks ======


Glitch once bought approximately 28,000 5.25" double-sided, double-density floppy diskettes. Users claiming they //need a floppy replacement product because it's so hard to get disks// are linked this image:

==== Bandwidth ====

The approximate bandwidth of the truckload of disks, assuming 360K formatting and a speed of 63 MPH, was approximately 659 KB/sec. Not bad for naturally aspirated!

==== Usage ====

The above pictured disks have been used in the production run of the following games:

  * [[ https://www.6502workshop.com/p/nox-archaist.html | Nox Archaist ]]
  * An upcoming [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Heineman | Burger Becky ]] game release

==== Damaged Cartons ====

The boxes of disks damaged by the ratchet straps are sold at an extra premium price. Being battle-hardened media, they're less likely to give up when things get tough. Nevermind that white box!

==== Truck ====

The truck is a 1985 Ford F-350 with 6.9L naturally aspirated International Harvester V8 diesel and Borg-Warner T19 manual transmission. Glitch bought it for $1800 in 2015, drove it out from under a scrap heap full of bees, put fresh batteries and tires on, and moved from NY to VA with it. It's usually on the farm.

The clutch linkage once broke near Sark's house, Sark and Glitch made a temporary repair out of a long grade 8 bolt. It was driven for around 1000 miles like that.
