yay I get to download 60gb of data from braben's spare bbc micro they left in their cupboard |
| <@Affliction> |
can you get it on data casette? |
| <@Affliction> |
2400 baud FSK encoded |
| <@Affliction> |
that'll be not quite 7000 hours! |
| <@DrinkyBird> |
22.1 GB (23,760,150,528 bytes) |
| <@DrinkyBird> |
hehe, mine's bigger than yours! |
| <@Affliction> |
3472 2-hour tapes |
| <@DrinkyBird> |
loading 60gb from tape, oh god |
| <@Affliction> |
6944.444444444444 hours :) |
| <@Affliction> |
289 days! |
| <@DrinkyBird> |
so by the time you've loaded the alpha, they've released the full thing, and probably an update or two |
| <@DrinkyBird> |
think I'll stick to downloading it |
| <@Affliction> |
oh |
| <@Affliction> |
the BBC Micro runs at 300 or 1200 baud |
| <@Affliction> |
so, multiply by 2 for 1200 |
