I find it cool af how you managed to take what would've been E-waste into something that's a core part of this channel

[sterlingphoenix]

fsck -y will automatically say yes to everything. Which can occasionally be hundreds or thousands of questions.

I'm glad Michael got to experience the joy of Unix filesystems before journaling became standard everywhere

Another comfy and nostalgic video from MichaelMJD 👍

✅ Rhapsody
✅ A PC from the 90s
✅ Michael's comfy voice
✅ Comfy background music

Seriously, one of the comfiest retro channels on YouTube. Keep up the great work Michael 💯

The good ol' $5 Windows 98 PC is back!

For anyone interested, SD2IDE/mSD2IDE adapters and SD2CF adapters also exist. These can be extremely useful and in the case of the latter worked on my Amiga with a CF2IDE adapter when an actual CF card didn't.

Seriously, the mSD2IDE made working on my P3 rig allot easier to use e.g. drivers, Ghost backups, etc. and was one of the best purchases I made on that system. It basically turns a regular SD card into an IDE HDD.

Edit:

Just remembered, I have the mSD2IDE on secondary IDE, so if I'm messing around with e.g. OS/2 I can disable the primary IDE to protect my DOS/3.11/98SE/2000 install and just put a blank mSD in the adapter.

I love the floppy disk wall. Keep up the great videos!

"Installing Apple Rhapsody on the $5 Windows 98 PC but nothing goes wrong" never thought that would happend

You should name the computer the “bohemian”
Then you’d have the bohemian running rhapsody

IIRC, there was a bunch of code taken from FreeBSD/NetBSD to make OSX and I can only imagine a good portion of that ended up in Rhapsody as well... I only mention it because I recognize that maxmem boot argument being available in the CONFIG file for BSD kernels (although I think in the config file it was defined as another directive).

Looks like Rhapsody never got a Y2K fix. That 2-digit year is the very reason behind the whole freakout actually

by turning old into gold, micheal MJD has earned his spot as a tech legend. thanks for the amazing videos and keep up the great work!

[miroist]

mjd brought back the golden age of YouTube

[jiwanshuverma]

A new Mjd video is always a good thing to see

[RetroGamerOG_]

The software looks surprisingly smooth

[macguest]

I love your video's all time and i tried to make this like you. Perfect video!!!😍😍😍

[solstickan]

Lovely that the Demos icon has the Aming boing ball infront of the folder. :D

IDE, master and slave, subnet mask, fsck, 640x480... shudder..! (although I also find these videos weirdly calming, despite bringing back nightmares from the old pc days, like a perversely calm horror film)

16:36 dude I literally had to do this this morning for a completely unrelated reason but apparently LInux mint botched an update— or the old mini laptop HDD IS ON ITS WAY OUT —and I had to do the same kind of repairs via FSCK but there were so many that I just started holding down the y key each time until it stopped.

eventually, I got to screens that just flashed a bunch of random numbers all matrix style and my 7 year old son was like “what the heck is that?” and I guess it was each individual file-system blocks or inodes or whatever— I have no clue- but it eventually fixed itself and worked 🤷‍♂️

[Nieczytelny_official]

I never knew about that OS. BTW i like your editing
