Adafruit’s Floppy board writes Apple II Floppies using a standard PC floppy drive #adafruit #apple2
Jeff has continued their work on floppies, contributing code to fluxengine so that a PC drive can write disks that boot on a real vintage Apple //e computer!
In this demo, jepler uses a standard PC 5.25″ floppy drive (TEAC model FD-55GFR) connected with the Adafruit Floppy board to write a floppy disk with a classic educational game downloaded from archive.org: Number Munchers.
Previously we’ve demonstrated how using the Adafruit Floppy interface you can read and write disks for PC and Commodore 64, and also read disks for Mac including crunchy old 400kB and 800kB floppies, which PCs have traditionally been unable to read.
