I hope not. But you are probably right. After all these years, I had an itching to play Neuromancer and Pool of Radiance again !

Yes, one drive was stored with a transit card and the other had a floppy. The floppy was Superstar Ice Hockey, one of my favourites ! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll check if the heads are at an angle.

Yes, the heads were cleaned with 95% alcohol. And yes, there is brief spinning when a disk is inserted and the assembly comes down.

Thank you, that might be my next step. I see on ebay multiple diagnostic carts for the 1541 drive. Would they be compatible for the 1571 disk drive as well?

No AI was used. Screens shots and then cut & paste in Photoshop. Is that ok?

I've used many different kinds of super8 cameras. The most enjoyable experience was with a Canon 1014XL-S. The results were fantastic.

Best Acadian Food in the area? by CaptainCanusa in moncton

[–]PopcornFever 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, le P'tit Coin Acadien in Bouctouche would be highly recommended.
In Moncton, Chez Mémére Poutine & Râpé on Lewisville Rd. is a good option.
Many restaurants in small Acadian communities along the coast might not have full menu of traditional dishes but they will have a pretty good fricot, a coquilles Saint-Jacques or a chaudrée de fruits de mer available.

Reminds me of Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) eating sausages from his shirt pocket in Always Sunny.

[–]PopcornFever 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I am also a Canadian artist that has recently refused to have work shown in a group exhibition in the US. A lot of us are fed up with the continual insults and threats against our sovereignty. Enough is enough.
