1541 Routines
What's the most impressive 1541 routines you've seen other than for loading? Some routines I recall are turning the led on and off in sync with the music, fading the led in and out, and bumping the head to play music from the drive (this had to contribute to many mis-aligned 1541s!) |

My two cents:
There is also my effect Textured Vectors in ES1RA:
ES1RA
And, my “Spiral bobs” and End Part “Twisted Vectors” in Biba 2:

Protogeo 100% last part, by Norvax.
Uses the drive to compute the (2D) coordinates of the eight SMGF cube corners (using a 16-bit truncated sine table with 65 entries), with perspective correction.
The division routine is a little peculiar. And the gap filling and line slope math really should have been done in the drive as well. But other than that, this is one of the most impressive 3D parts of all times. |

Any demes that need more than one drive to calculate stuff? |

Quoting Mr.IceAny demes that need more than one drive to calculate stuff? I think there was a fractal generator released by one of the german disk mags (Input64 or Magic Disk?) that could be configured to use more than one drive, but chances are high that my mind plays tricks on me and I just dreamt this...
Either way, it's not a demo! |

To quote a demo scener i keep in high regard:
"julia fractals are never nice (slow or fast)... they're ugly iterating blobs of nothingness, same goes for mandelbrots... It's debugging stuff for mathematicians, not eyecandy"
... and they serve no purpose, apart from showing "oh yeah, i can do that!" =)
So, if there's anything qualifying for "demo", it's fractal generators. =D |

Umm yeah, a fractal routine, especially one that is novel and uses one or more 1541s, would definitely be a "demo". |

They still are! :) |
