  • First time I format the whole disk, all msdos data (games) lost. I managed to install it then I opened vim to edit a file and I couldn’t get out of vim I know it’s a cliche, but there is real. To get out I have to call a friend, using the landline, the one who lends me the floppy disks (or maybe it was magazine cd) and ask he how to get out, he says, just press Shift and Z twice.

    Doing a reseat of the clip for each process I think is a bit overwork, also the clip that cames with the kits usually is very bad, I have to buy more clips after several uses.

    Edit: just to add some experiences, I recovered several HP laptops due to corrupted bios and some desktop motherboards, is a more common problem these days when bios updates are being done by windows update, and the fault rate is going up just because MS or the manufacturer are doing something wrong
