Adafruit Floppy

[benfranske]

For those who haven't seen it this interesting project popped up on my radar recently.

LadyAda is porting greaseweazle/fluxengine to be Arduino libraries so they can more easily be built with a variety of microcontrollers. Specifically they already have it running on RP2040 hardware. Perhaps even more interesting to Apple aficionados though is the planned interfacing to the Disk II drives as well and adding woz/a2r format support back into greaseweazle/fluxengine.

Since I've been hoping for woz/a2r imaging support that could be done from Linux I'm happy to see this!

*EDIT* Forgot to link to the Adafuit Floppy GitHub repo!

I have a greaseweazle F1 and it's pretty neat little tool - glad there's more effort going into this project. The only PC Floppy drive I have isn't very compatible with 800k disks but I am able to read some bits off unreadable disks.

edit: found the video demo about it
