JULY
2019
The
project started at the end of 2012, parallel to the RL01 / Rl02
Disk Emulator. There were delays because the last used Be-Micro-CV
board was no longer available ( see
development history
).
2019 was restart of the project. As with the RL01/RL02
disk emulator, the DE10-Nano board has now been used. Again, a PCB
board was developed and the existing software was ported to the
SoC/HPS environment. The software is available with version
V1.0. As shown in chapter 1.0 it is
considered to integrate both emulator boards on a single
board with additional functions, like Floppy
emulator, several serial interfaces with TU58 emulator. However,
here is a very important point: I am now
a pensioner. My efficiency decreases (especially when soldering).
I also miss the locations and vintage hardware to test and verify
the MFM-disk emulator project. There are still some issues left
for this project, see chapter 1.2A. To realize everything alone is
no longer possible, so I depend on cooperation. So far,
unfortunately, I've had a bad experience, but maybe it works now
with a cooperation. The entire Firmware
and Software based
on a Quartus V16.1 environment is open source and is also
available on GitHub
.
