  • Greaseweazle V4 USB Floppy Adapter – Flux Reader Writer – Ultimate Mister FPGA
    Greaseweazle allows versatile floppy drive control over USB. Read and write your vintage floppy disks from your PC/Linux/Mac computer. This USB device lets you to connect an old floppy disk drive to your modern computer to read/write floppy disks from any system with Shugart standard drives (Amiga, Atarí, Commodore, Amstrad, Sinclair, PC, CNC machines, musical instruments, industrial equipment, and more.)

    By extracting the raw flux transitions from a drive, any disk format can be captured and analyzed. The Greaseweazle also supports writing to floppy disks, from a range of image file formats including those commonly used for online preservation (ADF, IPF, DSK, IMG, HFE, …).

    Greaseweazle V4 is the latest version, updated for mass production and with the following features:

    Reads and writes 3″, 3.5″, 5.25″, 8″ disks (with suitable drive and cable)
    Buffered outputs, for communicating with older 5.25″ and 8″ disk drives
    Integrated power connector for directly powering most 3.5″ disk drives
    Write-enable jumper can be removed for safer preservation of precious vintage disks
    Supports floppy-modded 5.25″ drives
    Supports Disk-Change detection as used by Rob Smith’s integration into the WinUAE Amiga emulator
    3 user-definable outputs (eg. 8″ interface REDWC signal)
    100% factory tested, and tested again by me before shipping

  • The Inmos Legacy - transputer links and SpaceWire
    After reading https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2022/05/06/pi_pico_transputer_code/, I was looking for information related to transputers and found this page.

    The point-to-point technology to link transputers was formalised in the IEEE 1355 standard. This was further developed under the ESA into SpaceWire, which is now designed into a number of space missions under development in Europe, the USA and Japan. A key player in developing SpaceWire was Paul Walker from the transputer team whose company, 4Links, is now selling SpaceWire test equipment.

    XMOS mentioned on the page can be found on https://www.xmos.ai

  • Emacs /ˈiːmæks/, originally named EMACS (an acronym for "Editor MACroS"), is a family of text editors
    Emacs /ˈiːmæks/, originally named EMACS (an acronym for "Editor MACroS"), is a family of text editors that are characterized by their extensibility. The manual for the most widely used variant, GNU Emacs, describes it as "the extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display editor". Development of the first Emacs began in the mid-1970s, and work on its direct descendant, GNU Emacs, continues actively; the latest version is 28.2, released in September 2022.
