Disk Blitz

Disk Blitz, the online persona of John Keoni Morris, is a unique figure in the niche world of vintage computing. He's passionate about preserving and analyzing floppy disks, a task made significantly easier through his own creations: the Applesauce Floppy Drive Controller and the Applesauce software package. These tools represent a considerable achievement in the field, allowing for more efficient and effective analysis of these often-fragile data carriers. Since launching his Patreon in February 2022, Disk Blitz has cultivated a community of 56 members, 39 of whom actively support his work through paid subscriptions, generating an estimated $225 in monthly revenue. This demonstrates a dedicated following drawn to his expertise and innovative approach to a very specialized area. Disk Blitz's work is notable for its accessibility and impact within the retro-computing community, where the preservation of historical data is increasingly crucial.
