The question then, is if this floppy emulation device is "constant angular velocity" only. The MFM encoding speed differs between different tracks though. The Amiga uses MFM encoding by default (even though i think it can do other encodings as well). In the case of the Amiga it depends on just how different the drive was to a standard Shugart mechanism. HideawayStudio wrote:The device is very likely to work on the Atari ST, Archimedes and BBC Micro but sadly less likely to work on the Amiga as its FDD control was rather odd. If this product turns out to be a winner them I'm tempted to become a distributor. I'm just a little suspicious about this one - I can't help thinking the spin rate is irrelevant - it should all sync up at the end of the day - might be wrong. HideawayStudio, this is brilliant information! If they ever get distrobuted outside of china I'll buy one and store it away for the day my drive eventually does go Anyone have any info on this? Maybe a rare number of FZs use 300rpm drives. I yanked mine out and repaired it (the cage that pushed the disk down needed some WD-40, it didn't push it down far enough for the spindle to latch onto the disk) and the sticker on the bottom of the motor reads "300rpm". Now i'm confused about the drives in the FZ samplers. I'd forgotten about the change in spin rates between the two standards - what I didn't know is that some 3.5" disks were spinning at 5.25" rates This might not be an issue if the emulator is persuaded that the drive is a virtua 5.25" drive. Thanks for the info on the FZ-1's floppy spin rate.

Thank you very very much for this info and the links to the manuals - the internet is just amazing these days

There are two variants of the double-sided QDOS format: QDOS-6809 and QDOS-6800 ("old QDOS"), differing in the low-level sector-numbering scheme for side 1 (which is handled by the low-level driver and is transparent to the user as long as the device parameters are set appropriately).įor compatibility, Series IIx machines (running QDOS-6809) still employ the (old) QDOS-6800 format for CMI sound-disks (with the system-disk however having the new QDOS-6809 format). Single-sided -> total: 2002 sectors = 250.25KB formattedĭouble-sided -> total: 4004 sectors = 500.5KB formatted This file can then be resent to the FLOPPYFlash drive as new data file.Twosocks wrote:Some more info about the Fairlight.ĭrive: Mitsubishi M2896-63, Qume Q242, YE Data YD180ģ60rpm, single density (FM), soft sectored (1 index hole), 77 tracks/side, 26 sectors/track, 128 Bytes/sector, 500KBit/sec raw Allowing the unpacking, editing, and repacking of the imaged file.

This offers a demonstration of how the proprietary FLASH2GUI software used alongside the Network FLOPPYFlash drive can offer a bit for bit image copy of the data allowing backup & restore network capability, alternative drive select options, and also capacity and blocks select features. Please click the link below to see the Solid State Disks FLASH2GUI Youtube channel. The product’s configurable firmware allows a perfect host match, eliminating the need for any host hardware or software changes. The FLOPPYFLASH product allows OEMs and service providers to have a quick, cost-efficient solution to support their legacy system. Similarly, the emulated track configuration is programmable.

The FLOPPYFlash will replace 3.5”, 5.25” or 8” drives, both soft and hard sectored and may be set to operate at various data rates with the matching data encoding schemes, FM, MFM, or MMFM.

The FLOPPYFlash is available with SLIM-26, FLAT-34, 5.25” & 8 Shugart edge connector interfaces with full height and half height frames. The FLOPPYFlash is an industrial/OEM grade programmable hardware emulator that uses standard industrial Compact Flash card technology to provide a solid state, drop-in replacement for obsolete electromechanical floppy disk drives. The FLOPPYFlash is not suitable for home/hobbyist usage. The FLOPPYFlash is designed as a drop-in replacement to the industrial/ OEM & maintenance provider space. The drive will replace both soft and hard sectored and may be set to operate at various data rates with the matching data encoding schemes, FM, MFM, or MMFM.
