A question to @polpo & experts regarding #picoide:
I have some old PCs I did not turn on in a looooong time. I have no idea, if the HDDs still work. The picture shows an example HDD from a 486, running DOS and Win 3.11

Could you direct me to some resources:
1. How do I create a disk image e.g. from this drive, which can be emulated with #picoide ?
2. is there some possibility of a "standalone HDD dumping mode", where an HDD is directly connected to a #picoide to have a direct image creation?

There’s only one #PicoIDE in this computer… I got dual device support working this weekend! That means everyone who backed PicoIDE on Crowd Supply will be getting a bit of a bonus when they finally get theirs! I’ll be releasing a campaign update soon with the latest status on manufacturing.

@gloriouscow If you're making a whole ISA card, then you're overlapping with #PicoMEM, #PicoGUS, and #PicoIDE which could be a good place to steal from / ask about!

This was the only thing holding me back from recommending the #PicoIDE, so please go get one now

Dimming the screen for the screen saver on #PicoIDE was boring so I added flying toasters as an option. Sprites borrowed from the PicoPOST project

Just because I’m deep in getting #PicoIDE into production doesn’t mean that #PicoGUS is standing still. Delphius and wbcbz7 are in the middle of implementing some pretty awesome things (and on the original RP2040 hardware)! Keep your eyes peeled 👀
