Building a Reader for the Smallest Hard Drive (willwhang.dev)

Still a great story, great page and impressive reverse engineering. Isn't OpenClaw vs. he did it "himself" a bit analogue to the critique "oh, he wrote the firmware in C++ and let the compiler figure out the assembly code".

Maybe you wanted to see the assembly code, and that's fine. But he took a potentially difficult problem, found tools to solve it and documented (to some degree) the process?

I remember my Nokia N91 which had a 4GB version of one of these tiny HDDs, blew my mind at the time.

Man do I miss the N-series, I had so many good phones in that era.

Is there a video somewhere of the one inch microdrive with acrylic display shown in the article?
