I love finding out about hardware that used floppy disks! This is a Jands Hog 500 lighting controller. It can save and load pre-programmed shows from 3.5" floppy disks.pic.twitter.com/IIVV6cY8cv

Here's the thing though: It's got ports for an external monitor, PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. And the screen looks like this: Am I wrong, or is this thing a PC running some kind of X windows?pic.twitter.com/n0Ot4zZ08w
Nah, I don't think it is. I pulled an OS update and ran strings on it. Plenty of references to it being in c++ but the closest thing to any hint as to what OS it was said "JANDS2 v3.3" so they must have written their own embedded support for PS/2 keyb/mouse, VGA, and floppy disks
yeah, there's a wimman.cpp. they wrote their own GUI
and now it just INSULTED MY WIFE!
My wife @AmberTuring is not a bastard, you stupid ROM filepic.twitter.com/UzlJ8Ip064
anyway I tried throwing the cpu_rec tool at it and it thinks it's full of 68000 code. So definitely not a PC. https://github.com/airbus-seclab/cpu_rec …
although it thinks the second file might be PIC10, so who knows.
anyway since I was wondering too, the floppy drive is hidden under the wood on the right side. although the only picture I could find of it was where someone had replaced it with an emulator.pic.twitter.com/l0pz3UnMdl
it apparently runs WholeHOG II v3.3 as the OS. Lovely.pic.twitter.com/1DrGzVF9el
Is that like a Windows key?
