I’ve yet to implement write support for my SD card Macintosh floppy emulator, but my rough plan was: Perform GCR decoding on the fly, and store decoded sectors in RAM When the Macintosh steps to the next floppy track, use…
I’ve been working on optimizing the Floppy Emu design in preparation for making a custom circuit board, and as always I’m faced with a dizzying number of choices and potential trade-offs. The design calls for a Xilinx XC9572XL CPLD along…
The Backwoods Logger is a programmable graphing altimeter / thermometer, originally developed here at BMOW and now an open hardware project. Interested in the Logger, but don’t want to build it yourself? Assembled Backwoods Logger Mini units, BLsync adapters, and blank Logger…
Here’s a brief video of Macintosh Floppy Emu in action, booting a Mac Plus from the emulated floppy, and then reading the floppy using Disk Copy 4.2. Watch this video on YouTube
