  1. Excuse the mess! :D

    I'm beta testing a #burgerdisk by @colin_mcmillen on my Delta #apple2e clone.
    It's wired to a SmartDisk][ card, and so far it's been working great. I could even daisychain it to a #FloppyEmu!

  6. The #FlaccidOstrich repository is now public! codeberg.org/hkzlab/Flaccid_Os

    The Flaccid Ostrich is a clone of #FloppyEmu, a floppy/smartport emulator for #apple2 and #Macintosh computers.

    Thanks to #PCBWay for having sponsored the PCBs for this project!

    I recreated the schematics to repair my original unit, and while I was at it, I decided to build a clone using THT technology, just in case someone wants some DIY.

    EDIT: Sorry, had to pull this. See: tinkerdifferent.com/threads/fl
    It was more damageful to community than expected, which wasn't my intention.

  11. There's a reason why I did not yet release the #FloppyEmu clone I'm working on.
    See, even though you can find its bootloader floating through the net, I still did not feel totally in the clear about it. No idea if it meant to be out there.
    But a few weeks ago, I found this: github.com/una1veritas/mac-flo

    And, by going through the disassembly of the current bootloader, they're very, VERY similar.
    Enough for me to take the time to add the SSD1306 driver to it, tweak a few things and create an open bootloader I'll release together with the boards.

  16. It works!!!
    My #FloppyEmu clone booted its first game!

    I used the original bootloader, extracted from my FloppyEmu via ISP. You can find one floating on the net though (HINT: search for a vcfed thread titled "Any hope for a faulty Floppy emu v1.7 revc ?"

    And now I can build as many as I need!

  21. The floppy emulator HxC by Jean-Francois Del Nero completely replaces the floppy drive (of an Amiga) with an electronic device. The project, which was launched in 2006, is available in two versions, with a SD card port or with USB port. Now the new version 2.16.13.1 is available:

  31. Following up on this. I removed the SuperSerial card that was in slot 1, and now Pascal boots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #appleii #FloppyEmu

  36. I've also tried different versions of Apple Pascal, and even a Pascal application (ThinkTank). I get the same behavior every time.

    FWIW: These same images all work in the Virtual ][ emulator. #appleii #FloppyEmu

  42. I’m trying to boot a “pascal formatted” disk on my #appleii. I insert the disk, turn the machine on, it reads from disk, clears the screen and then starts beeping. It doesn’t stop until i turn the machine off. Same behavior with pascal formatted images in the #FloppyEmu.

    Where should I start investigating? The disks/images?
    The disk controller card?
    The drive and floppy emu?
    Something else?

  47. The other #FloppyEmu annoyance is that any time I copy a new image to the SD card, I get a “file is not contiguous” error when I try to use the new file. I have to format and copy over all the files to make it work. Every time.

  52. So I got a #FloppyEmu for my #appleii. It’s pretty cool to be able to use an SD card to emulate floppy disks.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t want to boot Pascal disks. The computer just starts beeping repeatedly. Very frustrating.
