leadedsolderStill trying to figure out why my PC-8001 disk drive interface doesn't work. I've reached the point of blaming the drive itself, but it is rude enough to start working when I test it in isolation. It's gotta be my homemade interface. #retrocomputing #pc8001 #pc80s31
Leaded SolderI spent a lot of time crimping IDC cables today to finish building my boards. One adapter for the PC-8001 to use floppy drives, and another for the Sanyo MBC-555 to speak RS-232.
Both these boards are going to be open source: let me know if you have either of these machines and I'll send you a spare board if these end up working out when I test them.
