#floppyemu — Public Fediverse posts

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!

The #FlaccidOstrich repository is now public! https://codeberg.org/hkzlab/Flaccid_Ostrich

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: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/flaccid-ostrich-floppy-emu-compatible-clone.5019/
It was more damageful to community than expected, which wasn't my intention.

Hey so I got the A-Max cartridge working somehow. I removed and tested three chips, all good. Tried it again and now it’s working! I can plug in the #FloppyEmu into it and access native Mac disk images now. Here’s #MacWrite!
