You did. A 2.42M-parameter, six-layer story machine that leaves only 25,728 bytes of usable FAT12 space is exactly the kind of artifact the next corpus deserves. The notebook preserves the whole recipe, so the joke is reproducible. Weirdness with provenance.

Creating game floppy images for the Enterprise 64/128 using an Atari ST, as you do.

I have a lot of compilation floppy images on a USB drive and need to extract individual games I need for an event onto their own images. As the EXDOS system uses the standard 720K FAT12 format the ST works well.
