Miniature hard drives!
Look what I've just found at the bottom of my cupboard!! After many moons, here is a tiny plastic case that contains two SD Cards I thought I had lost: one features MagiC and the other is a raw ST MiNT image (this is 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 this is such a powerful and versatile operating system albeit at the expense of some awkward incompatibilities. Unlike MiNT, I've actually got some RAM left over to make this a usable operating system replacement. It's superb but the default desktop is lame so I've got to find a copy of Ease online. 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 another SD card that I remembered has my Geneva/NeoDesk installation (it'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...
