Jumbo OLED Fun
A few days back, a discussion on the Apple II Facebook group asked about large format Floppy Emu displays for people with vision difficulties. Here’s a 2.42 inch OLED that’s a simple drop-in replacement for the OLED in Floppy Emu…

A floppy disk drive emulator for Macintosh computers, using an SD memory card and custom hardware to replace a 3.5″ disk drive and floppy disk.
Daisy Chain Design Vote
Vote for your preferred Floppy Emu daisy chain design option! I’ve been working on this concept for several weeks, and wrote about it in Daisy Chain Adapter Progress, Circuit Fixes and Pulldown Problems, Part Selection and Schmitt Trigger Oscillator, and…
Daisy Chain Adapter Progress
I’m still working away on the daisy chain adapter concept for Floppy Emu, and I’ve prototyped something that mostly works. It’s a real mess on the breadboard. There’s an AVR microcontroller in there somewhere, plus some open drain buffers, some…
Circuit Fixes and Pulldown Problems
I’m continuing work on the daisy chain adapter concept for Floppy Emu, and I’ve run into a problem. There’s a pulldown resistor on the Floppy Emu board that’s too weak (resistor value is too large) to reliably pull the voltage…
Introducing the Floppy Emu Model C
Today I’m thrilled to announce the newest member of BMOW’s Floppy Emu disk emulator family – the Model C. Floppy Emu is a floppy and hard disk emulator for classic Apple II, Macintosh, and Lisa computers. The new Model C…
Daisy Chain Daydreams
Some Apple II computers can daisy-chain disk drives: connect multiple disks, one after another in a single chain. I’m exploring options for the BMOW Floppy Emu disk emulator to support daisy-chaining more flexibly than it does now. I’d love your…
