Re: Emulate Floppy with a Raspberry Pi ?

Ah! /me i should really read the text :oops: Very interesting! But feels not as a physical floppy drive? btw. i found stuff around to emulate floppy drives with the raspberry pi: Ninepin Ninepin is about interfacing retro computers to modern peripherals. e.g.: Use USB joystick via RPi GPIO with Comm...

Re: Emulate Floppy with a Raspberry Pi ?

Although the RPi has a lot of power, I am not sure it is fast enough (latency) to deal with the Dragon bus on its GPIO pins. Maybe if you run it "bare metal" without any OS. Found some GPIO benchmarks here: http://codeandlife.com/2012/07/03/benchmarking-raspberry-pi-gpio-speed/ Interesting is the l...
