The machine has a nostalgic appearance but a powerful configuration. |
According to PC World, this is one of his creations in the process of turning a 20-year-old IBM Aptiva into a computer with the most modern configuration. Not wanting to destroy the nostalgic look of the machine, Dr. Moddnstine found a way to integrate new devices into the case of the old device.

The secret lies within. |
He found that the space inside a floppy disk was exactly the size of an SD card. He cut the inside of the disk out, inserted the SD card, and wired it so it could communicate with an external reader. Inside the floppy disk reader, the cable was also the same width as the SD card, and Dr. Moddnstine cut the cable down to the most important wires, then wired them into a USB 3.0 SD card reader.

The computer recognizes this as a floppy disk with a capacity of 118 GB. |
After completing the above steps, Dr. Moddnstine had a 128GB floppy disk and a supporting reader. When plugged into the computer, the computer still showed that this was a floppy disk with enough capacity for the card.
