<Stilett0> Lots of people (for me) liking my reply in the comments section of ej5's tweet, guess some had never heard of the Plusdeck: https://twitter.com/stilett0_/status/1276679455814094850
<andlabs> see commodore
<andlabs> ?
<andlabs> you can totally put a car stereo tape drive in a computer
<andlabs> now go back and time and do that with the SX64
<Stilett0> :D
<Stilett0> it had state of the art RS232 control, woooow (that was actually pretty late for RS232 in a consumer product when USB had pretty much taken over)
<KitsuWhooa> it probably didn't even use serial commands
<KitsuWhooa> probably had something like RTS hooked up to play :p
<andlabs> there was going to be a dual drive model of the SX64 which is why the big hole is there
<andlabs> but when that was cancelled they should have added the tape drive
<andlabs> unless tapes were already dead in the US market by then
<andlabs> also that internal drive has RS232 control? what?
<andlabs> or is that really an external drive?
