Five museums — CD/DVD, MiniDisc, Phreak Phone, Tape, Floppy. An archive of the formats the internet forgot. Capacity charts, duplicator specs, nostalgia phones, format wars, sunset timelines. Everything the Wikipedia article doesn't have time for.
Each museum opens its original retro-green page -- the aesthetic is preserved on purpose.
From Red Book spec through M-DISC. A full history of optical media -- capacity charts, duplicator hardware, sunset timelines, and modern archival uses.
Blue boxes through the Motorola RAZR. The culture that invented hacking -- network shutdowns, nostalgia phones, and a deep dive on the RAZR V3.
Format-by-format walk through magnetic media. Cassette, 8-track, DAT, VHS, Beta, DigiBeta, MiniDV -- what survived, what didn't, and why.
A 20-year format war told in full -- the one Sony never quite won. ATRAC encoding, NetMD, Hi-MD, portable player hardware, and the full Sony story.
Every floppy format, capacity, and drive ever made -- plus the bizarre side-quests: DMF compression, FlipFloppy double-density hacks, bootable installers.
Candidates on the shortlist: Game Cartridge Museum (Atari through DS), Modem Museum (300-baud through DSL), Pager Museum (1950s–2000s), Typewriter & Word Processor Museum. Priority set by reader interest. If one calls to you, send word.
