5.25" floppy reading with fluxengine

OK after much fluxengine hacking (wherein we wrote a bunch of code, then ended up deleting all but like 4 lines) we have it successfully interfacing with the adafruit_floppy 'greaseweazle compatible mode'. we can now use both tools to read and parse flux data which is great as fluxengine has a bunch of formats it supports. we did find one MFM 360K DOS disk in our collection - so we are able to verify that chunky floppies work just as well as 3.5"s. this is one good example of why we cant 'just use a USB floppy drive' - there is no 5.25" usb floppy drives (yet). after imaging this disk we found some classic mouse driver content - including an exciting new concept in Mouse control! pull request submitted to fluxengine https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine/pull/415 and adafruit floppy is here https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Floppy #adafruit #retro #fluxengine Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
