ian, you are doomed

wikipedia makes easily enough money to cover their hosting and other costs, the problem is they spend most of it on worthless bullshit like sending DVDs of wikipedia pages to africa

in addition to the limited cpu power for decompression, you also had to be able to stream the data off a CD-ROM

a typical CD-equipped computer at the time had a 2x pio-4 cd drive; something just a year or two older would have a proprietary matsushita or similar. no atapi dma magic to take load off the host cpu

so you had to fit your video inside of a totally unbuffered 150 kb/s stream that also took like 50% of the CPU cycles just to get the data off the disc

weren't most CD-ROMs back then SCSI even on the PC side of things?

scsi cdroms were always rare and expensive. you found them on unix workstations and like $25k macintoshes and that's about it

really early PC CDROMs used proprietary busses. later ones used IDE/PIO or ATAPI. they still used SCSI-like commands, but they weren't SCSI electrically and didn't have SCSI-grade brains.

at no point was scsi like, a default choice, unless it was an external CD-ROM in an enclosure

hah even macs weren't that expensive but I get your point

I've seen a lot of soundblasters with SCSI ports but I'm guessing those were the middle-class choice

a base model IBM PC was $1,565 in 1981, and unlike every home computer at the time, it had an 80 column display, the minimum for business use.

this was a screaming deal. you could easily spend $1500 on a dumb terminal in 1981, and here comes an IBM PC that is both a minicomputer AND a fully capable terminal. who cares if it's bloody slow and has miserable I/O, holy gently caress, it's a business computer on my desk

"the original PC proved too expensive for the home market. At introduction, a PC with 64 kB of RAM and a single 5.25-inch floppy drive and monitor sold for US $3,005 ($ 7,716 in today's dollars), while the cheapest configuration (1565 US$) that had no floppy drives, only 16 kB RAM, and no monitor (again, under the expectation that users would connect their existing TV sets and cassette recorders) proved too unattractive and low-spec, even for its time"
