Goal:
The most important is to learn stuff!
I want to build a device which can be used as a replacement for the Amiga 500 floppy drive.
Credits:
techtravels.org: My first stop when starting this project. A ton of information and code available. Also Keith has been extremely helpful and explained a lot to me, most of it recorded on this page.
tnt23 megadrive: A project by Tim, similar to what I am trying to do. Tim has a lot of info hidden in the techtravels.org comments.
Status:
I have bought some kit, learnt a bit about stuff and set up this page. Hopefully programming something this week.
Pages:
My Amiga 500 collection
Details about my kit
Information about MFM/how data is stored on disks
Floppy drive interface
Timings and numbers
AVR, Ardunio and SD cards
For my Arduino Mega I am looking to buy Memory Expansion:
