Arduino Mega is overkill for sure but I'd rather use the MCU I have than deal with buying logic ICs right now. Anyway this thing works and I have my floppy controller bios burned
having a hard time tracking this down, guess my search skills aren't very good, but I saw a forum mention the Scary Red Death Box in this photo (from a Sony CPD-9000) is actually a high voltage regulator? Was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbOtpRQ7npY where the CRT in this HP unit had a similar looking component and it got me wondering. Don't @ me about CRT safety, I know what not to touch, especially if it's bright fucking orange
