Re: General Stuff(tm)
More shenanigans with the Kaypro drives this morning. Drive B's motor decided to run full speed whatever I did, even replacing the LM2917 on the servo control board. I'd already reflowed the solder on the connector, which had cracks. So it was a case of buzzing out traces. Found that an old bodge t...

Re: Stuff and Things.
Well, I did a thing. Well, 2 things... First off I ordered a Yellowstone card for my Apple IIe from Big Mess o' Wires. I have been considering it for a little while and I think HigashiJun suggested it (Sorry if I'm remembering it wrong), but it will work very well with my FloppyEmu for both 5 1/4 an...
