A topic that we have never looked at before, but that should have accompanied pretty much all of us in the 80s: floppy disc copy protection.

If you think about the topic, the question arises relatively quickly, how a digital medium like a floppy disk can be protected against copying. Anything that needs to be read can be copied, right? Wrong!

The copy protection tricks of the days therefore also required certain hardware peculiarities of the corresponding reading and writing devices, and the topic is indeed super interesting.

Rob Smith has decided to shed some light on this darkness 🔦, and a few days ago published a video in which he addresses this very topic.

Interesting and entertaining!
