    Flaccid Ostrich - Floppy Emu compatible clone

    @hkzlab Thank you for doing the right thing. As @MacEffects said, we're all human - the important thing is not that we never make mistakes, but that we correct them where and how we can. On which note, I apologize if my defense of BMOW was overzealous at times - it wasn't my intention to...

    Color me pleasantly surprised. Good on them.

    Flaccid Ostrich - Floppy Emu compatible clone

    @Certificate of Excellence - forgive my presumption, but I think your perception of BMOW's avenues of legal recourse is more than a little rose-tinted. He has options, yes, but they're few and not great. As he himself said and @Yoda echoed, the best way to deal with a case like this is...

    Flaccid Ostrich - Floppy Emu compatible clone

    I'm not a lawyer either, but I feel quite comfortable saying that the fact that the Floppy Emu firmware was under Creative Commons in 2012 does NOT mean that every subsequent version is also released under the same license forever. If someone wants to use the 2012 Floppy Emu firmware to power a...

    Flaccid Ostrich - Floppy Emu compatible clone

    "Because a thing is expensive, I should be allowed to steal it"? "Because other people are doing something bad, I should be able to, too"? Honestly, I am really grossed out by the community's welcoming response to this. This is not some victimless crime like distributing abandonware from...

    Anyone have a MacCharlie keyboard unit?

    It'd be neat if it turned out the protocol was just VT100 or something like that...

    TashTalk: Single-Chip LocalTalk Interface (v2 and RPi hats!)

    Sorry, no more hats or hat kits in stock at the moment. CayMac Vintage is hopefully going to start stocking them in the future, but I don't know when that will be. I can take a look at what I have at home in a few days, I might have some PCBs or parts on hand...

    Anyone have a MacCharlie keyboard unit?

    Now, if only the serial protocol between the Mac and the MacCharlie could be reverse engineered... (TashCharlie, anyone?)

    Anyone have a MacCharlie keyboard unit?

    For anybody interested, @KennyPowers has done some bus analysis on the MacCharlie keyboard extension for me (thank you!). Turns out it more or less pretends to be an M0120 keypad with some extra keys. I've done a writeup on TashNotes here...

    TashTalk: Single-Chip LocalTalk Interface (v2 and RPi hats!)

    Correct, you need to use a pair of LocalTalk or PhoneNet dongles, as you diagrammed above.

    TashPad: Super Nintendo to Gravis GamePad ADB Converter

    Nice! I like the look of the blue faceplates with the white case.

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Great to see another build! To follow up on the questions about MIDI raised in the chat and the video: The PIC firmware was created with the idea of making it possible to make a two-in-one device that emulated both the MacRecorder and the Apple MIDI Interface. This is still doable but would...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Yeah - in MIDI mode (mode select pin pulled low), the firmware generates a 1 MHz clock from the clock output pin and relays the MIDI/audio input pin to the RxD± pins, inverted.

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    No worries. I'm in the US, though, my profile shouldn't be saying I'm in France...
