Freespin is a demo that runs on a Commodore 1541 floppy drive. More information at www.quiss.org/freespin/. It generates sound/music by vibrating the drive's head, and video by switching the two serial bus lines between ground and +5V. A single 100 Ω resistor is used to connect the video. A C64 is used to boot the demo, but can be disconnected once it's running.

In this world, a C64 asks his 1541 for a file, elaborates it and projects it on his monitor. In another world, a 1541, after receiving the LOAD from a C64, loads a driver file from itself, processes itself and takes possession of the C64 monitor. Welcome to Odyssey 2001 where everything can became reality.

@TheGuruMeditation 3 года назад
