FLOPPSY Is Back on the Menu 💾 We had a cool floppy reader/emulator project underway. Then we moved, dealt with a tariff mess, and created a new, very cute human. A modest scheduling interruption. Now we’re back with a nice, hopefully final revision. FLOPPSY is designed to connect to or emulate Shugart PC, Mac, and Apple Disk ][ floppy drives. Yes, we have an Apple index sensor input. We know what you were about to ask. We added a 2.8" color touchscreen and a USB host connector for some Very Interesting Capabilities. We also whipped up top and bottom plates, and the whole thing is 3.5" floppy-sized. Small enough to look familiar. Considerably more complicated inside. 🔧 Read. Capture. Emulate. There’s plenty of magnetic history worth keeping, and we’re getting back to the hardware that can help. FLOPPSY is up next ... and so is the next chapter of AdaBox. We’ll be announcing Club AdaBox later this week. 👀

Happy 41st birthday to the incomparably talented Tatiana Maslany!

The first terminals I used were paper feed on the @BoiseState HP3000. The beginning students would leave their login info around so it was easy to get in. The paper could be a pain. Using CRT terminals was better.
