8" floppy disk found at school

Yes! My floppy emulator now successfully boots the Xerox 820 by emulating an FM-formatted 8" floppy disk drive!

The hardware is a prototype Adafruit Floppsy and the code is not online yet as my last "aha" moment about correct FM encoding probably broke MFM encoding and I didn't want to do that.

I'll get it cleaned up and pushed to that open pull request in Adafruit_Floppy tomorrow with any luck.

(Neither MFM nor FM emulation support writing, and I don't think implementing that's on the table right now, so this is still much less capable than a gotek with flashfloppy.. but I'm still excited about it)

  • Pretty shure they can DIY a replacement platter just from that alone...

And yes, there are people who work on #DIY'ing #8inch and #5inch #FDDs from scratch cuz unlike the 3,5" #FDD they haven't been made not for 13+ years, but 25+ years!

What is better than a 5 1/4'' drive on a retro PC? Of course an 8-inch drive on a retro PC!

FloppyRider is now a DIY full-featured 8-inch drive built around the IBM 51TD Diskette drive that makes it PC-compatible.

After deleting everything on Twitter, I want to try Mastodon. So, a lot of information about Kaypro, 8 inch drives and much more I will post here.
