[$] Block-layer bounce buffering bounces out of the kernel
As the end of the 1990s approached, a lot of kernel-development effort was
going into improving support for 32-bit systems
with shockingly large amounts of memory installed. This being the 1990s,
having more than 1GB of memory in such a system was deemed to be shocking.
Many of the compromises made to support such inconceivably large systems
have remained in the kernel to this day. One of those compromises —
bounce buffering of I/O requests in the block layer — has finally be … ⌘ Read more

The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)

I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:

Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering ATA.
