Loading a Commodore 64 floppy written with genuine GreaseWeazle hardware

Here’s a new short video from jepler about writing floppy disks:

Over the past weeks, Ladyada and jepler have been learning about floppy flux writing. Here, jepler loads a classic game onto a Commodore SX-64 written using a blank floppy disk and a genuine GreaseWeazel interface board. This method works for non-protected software in .D64 format, and FluxEngine software running on a host computer. Coming soon to Adafruit’s own prototype hardware? You bet we’re working on it!

Check out the video, then if you’re hooked on floppies, watch the rest of our growing playlist about them.
