Friends Reunited!

Miniature hard drives!

Look what I've just found at the bottom of my cupboard!! After many moons, here is a tiny case that contains two SD Cards I thought I had lost: one features MagiC and the other is a raw ST MiNT image, created by Marcello running Cripple MiNT (due to the ST's 4MB Ram limit and you can read about that here).

For me, MagiC is where it's at because it's a powerful and versatile operating system albeit at the expense of some awkward incompatibilities. Unlike MiNT, I've got some RAM left over to make this a usable operating system replacement. It's superb but the default desktop is lame so I should find a copy of Ease. Now, I know most will probably scream "Jinnee" but I feel Ease is the better alternative desktop for me.

Sadly, I've yet to find the SD card that has my Geneva/NeoDesk installation (that's now free!!). Anyhow, it's funny what you find when least expecting it. So which is your favourite or do you prefer good old TOS? Let me know in the comments below while I stuff this card with programs and my chip music archive...
