Pictured above is the Floppy Emu hardware. Today I finally got read-only floppy emulation working from an SD card, in a rough approximation of the originally intended design. That makes it possible to download disk images of classic Mac software from the web, copy them to an SD card, and load them onto a Mac Plus or other Macintosh using the Floppy Emu. I’ve been tinkering with this project for a while now, and wrote about it here several times before. The Macintosh Floppy Emu works! No, not the flightless Australian bird, but the SD card 800K floppy drive emulator for classic Macintosh computers.
