New features are blooming like May flowers for the Floppy Emu disk emulator. This firmware update has something for everyone!

Lisa

The emulated rotation speed of Lisa floppy disks can now be manually adjusted within a range of +/- 6 percent. This only affects the TACH signal that the Lisa uses to sense the drive speed – it has no effect on the actual bit rate which remains 500 Kbps. The speed adjustment is set after selecting “Lisa floppy” as the emulation mode. Adjustments may help some Lisa owners with hardware different from my test system and who reported disk speed errors.

Apple II

• Smartport disk images can now have descriptive names like “SMART0-game-archive.PO”. So long as the filename begins with “SMART” plus a unit digit 0 through 3 it will be used for that Smartport unit. The rest of the name is ignored.
• Added support for 40-track / 160K 5.25 inch disks
• bug fix: NIB disks can now be ejected normally

All computers with Floppy Emu Model C

The OLED display will be dimmed after 30 seconds of inactivity. Any disk I/O or user interaction will return it to normal brightness.
