A legit techblog for once??? Wow! · 7:49am May 24th, 2021
I keep having to remind myself that the main goal of one of my summer projects is to make a new LOGIC BOARD for a floppy drive, not make an entire freakin' Floppy Drive controller circuit. The difference is that one controls the drive, and the other... uh, controls the thing that controls the drive. Funky.
I scare myself once a week and look up MFM encoding techniques only to remember that that's not my problem™ lol.
So anyway I've been slowly redrawing the schematics of the logic board by hand to make it readable enough for me to redraw the schematic in CAD software so that I can throw together a 100% new board.
My stretch goal's to replace all those individual logic chips with a solution using modern microcontrollers instead. :V
