That one did not seem to work right under Windows, I got some garbled
output. (BTW, the article claimed that all modern floppies had a
undocumented software "disable write protection" switch, and this was
the example program, very nicely obfuscated)
I also fondly remember the test of nul-device (DOS) accelerator cards and
more recently (IIRC last april) the article about advanced MPEG4
features which save "actor data" in separate files and allow one to
replace the actors in a movie. ;-)
