Also, I can confirm that my SF354 works on the external port. One thing to mention, the drive motor on the external drive is active as long the internal drive is accessed.

I think a few people have tried the external floppy port with success (btl with an SF354...think there was somebody else too, possibly PaulJ...?)

I didn't even know gotek could have a OSD!

Definitely worth following the FlashFloppy progress on FB.

Even more interesting (to me at least) is his Greaseweasle developments on a Bluepill board... especially for backing up / recovering floppy disc data.

Great work to finally nail this puppy!

As part of an homage to your earlier boosters, I plan to fit one onto an H4 ( when they finally arrive). I somehow doubt it will threaten your benchmarks though

Hi, is this still available?

yep aint gonna be anytime soon by looks of it.

The socket was only there for my use to test PLCC chips, so will have to wait until I get my board and have time. Doesn't really serve a purpose for anyone else. Ah, OK - best to go for the DIL package for that then :D All pre-orders have the DAC for free :yay2: :dualthumbup: :cheer: :thanksyellow:...

exxos - I'm trying to go through the BoM whenever I have chance & have a list of chips & connectors with no price against them (some of which are the alternative package styles etc.) A few of questions so far if I may:- 1- is the 68901 in PLCC likely to be tested soon or is it waiting on exxos gett...

From personal experience, black and white cats are the most trouble... still have one (now 8 months young) & the other who disappeared 3 years ago.
Both are/were much more trouble than all the others!

Maybe it's a survival instinct to notice the cat...

Ah, great. Makes sense now.

Thanks for the clarification... will work to put together the requisite orders/list of parts to scavenge.
