ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<cr1901_modern> Foone: It's not FOSS (I don't think), but... you can add it to the wiki: https://www.drem.info/#h.4udqd0mbdw6t
<cr1901_modern> err wrong link
<cr1901_modern> https://www.drem.info
<cr1901_modern> I think "THE ONE AND ONLY HDD/FDD EMULATOR IN THE UNIVERSE!" (first link) is overselling it tho

<cr1901_modern> https://twitter.com/whitequark/status/1298300887438364672/photo/1 I think the last few lines are supposed to say "GenuineIntel"
<cr1901_modern> did something garble it? Doesn't look like an interleave problem
<whitequark> cr1901_modern: it's compressed
<whitequark> that one is uhhhh
<whitequark> 64K UV EPROM
<whitequark> so it's compressed with Award's algo
<cr1901_modern> Ahhh! Neat that I could read some of it :D
<whitequark> it's not a good compression algorithm
<whitequark> i think it's some huffman thing? it's documented on the web
<cr1901_modern> It's Huffman plus dictionary coding. I'm trying to look up how it works

<Foone> cr1901_modern: interesting? I wonder if it's just a combination of the open source flashfloppy & mfm emulator projects?

<whitequark> TD-Linux: what in tarnation is this flash doing https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgTH7FQXkAAc3dL?format=png&name=large
<TD-Linux> whitequark, wow weird
<TD-Linux> is this by chance a MLC flash?
<whitequark> TD-Linux: ... hm
<whitequark> sst 39sf020
<whitequark> still produced huh
<whitequark> lol data retention "100 years minimum"
<TD-Linux> lol
<TD-Linux> no hint that it might be MLC
<TD-Linux> another thing that could cause that might be different halves of the flash degrading different amounts? might be interesting to try only reading out a section and see if the histogram still looks the same
<whitequark> hang on
<whitequark> different halves?
<whitequark> why halves?
<whitequark> oh
<TD-Linux> I mean not necessarily halves, but different physical regions
<Stilett0> (bootable) ATAPI still seems to be the weak spot for drive emulators - not only optical and all its weirdness but also things like ZIP100
<Stilett0> don't get me wrong, there's a few things, there's even a few interesting things, but it's not as robust a space as floppy emulators/etc.
