I have re-opened the Applesauce store after an extended holiday break. Apple 3.5 Sync Sensors are back in stock. And there is a new Naked Mac Drive Adapter (very limited supply) that allows you to connect bare 800K and SuperDrives directly to Applesauce without needing the A9M0106 enclosure. https://applesaucefdc.com/order/

For folks that like pics, here is the magic Nabu PC sequence that allows it to recognize its own disks. See the thread for more details.

A recent release of the Applesauce client has added a new camera feature. It utilizes any connected camera to be able to take snapshots of floppy disks as you image them. Simply take the pictures and then image your disk. When you save your disk image, the snapshots will automatically be saved along side your disk image and named appropriately to match the disk. A super simple process that only takes a few seconds to add photos to your imaging flow.

Assembly and testing has been completed for this small batch of Applesauce units! If you are on the wait list, expect an email in the next day or two. Unfortunately I don’t have enough for everyone waiting.

I also have just sold out of Apple 3.5 Sync Sensors. I’m aiming to make a small batch over the next few weeks. The Gerber files for the sync sensors are also on the wiki if you just want to make some on your own.
