If you want to use the GUI, the X11 devel library will be needed (GUI based on FLTK).Īll is working on the Raspbian distribution.Ībout the hardware you can found all you need to build it yourself there : To make the emulator working on the Raspberry Pi, just get the sources from the sourceforge repository : One major limitation of the actual hardware : It doesn’t support the write from the host computer ! ![]() The device also support floppy disk protections emulation : Variable bitrate, flakeybits and so on. The list of the file floppy images format directly supported can be found at the end of this post. The list of the tested devices can be found here. Regarding the machines and floppy formats supported, the emulator can support any computer using Shugart, PC, or similar floppy interface : Amiga, Atari ST, CPC, TRS80, PC, Keyboards, Samplers, CNC Tools… Web browser floppy image upload & control : The Raspberry Pi is like miracle : The combination of the two devices make a very powerful standalone floppy emulator with network capabilities : wired and wireless A PC was needed to constantly feed the board. This is a specialized floppy data shifter/streamer (USB to Floppy interface). ![]() This a universal floppy disk drive emulator based on the old USB HxC Floppy Emulator. ![]() This wasn’t specifically a Raspberry Pi project but since it works very well with this nice hardware it is worth to be presented here:
