Can you run Fighter Ace from a SSD hard drive? ~S~
-
Yes. Prior to my account going, I was running AH on a SSD.
-
Anything you can run on an HDD you can run on an SSD. Are you asking about an external drive?

You can run pretty much anything from an SSD. The amount of read/writes has gone up as fast as the prices have come down.
Just make sure that you have backup copies of anything you'd like to keep as recovering lost data from an SSD is doomed to fail because of TRIM, wear leveling and data distribution assisted by a potentially failing cell will corrupt any data fragments in a second.

Nah, I have FA 1.0 - 4.0 installs on my drive. They run fine.

I stand corrected.

You can always go the emulator route if the app is to old for Windows 10/11.

I just assumed it would be doing a phone-home thing to servers no longer there.

Prices are good on SSDs right now and predicted by some to get better. Just say no to HDD.

HDD? It's like asking for a floppy drive on your next laptop.
Or even a CD player. :O

HDDs spin opposite the Earths spin. Gradually slowing our planets spin. Save the planet, upgrade now!

4 tb drives for like $260. Dang I feel old sometimes.
I remember when a friend came home with a 20 mb HDD for his Tandy. 20 INSANE mb! I was green with envy.

My first HDD was 10MB for a Zenith Z100. It was $1700 in 1981 dollars. :old:

The first one I bought was a Seagate 30MB, $300. I had an Amiga 2000 with an IBM Bridgeboard. I was able to access the drive on the Amiga side through the Bridgeboard. Could even boot the Amiga from it.

I heard a lot of garbled screeching and scratching, so it must of been Yoko

My first was a 20Mb Hardcard.
One of my favourite demos of the Amiga was it running Workbench, MS-DOS, and classic Mac OS all at once. I'd have them on separate screens and then drag the screens down to show 1/3rd of each all running applications concurrently.

My first was a 5mb Harddrive for my Apple II plus.
Expensive as h*ll.
-
Stacker made my 20mb a 40 mb hard drive before it made my data a locked up 20mb file lol

Good ole QEMM let me use the full 1MB RAM in my 386/40MHz machine.

DOS 5 came along with built-in memory management. That was big. I bet you younger guys never even heard of edlin.
-
On Command PPV setup in resorts used DrDOS as the os back in the late 90's on tiny monochrome screens

The old days. When you had to read books to learn stuff and then remember it. I probably wouldn't trade having so much knowledge at our fingertips for the past but if the world goes dark I may wish we had.
