Hi there!
Do you want a modern clone of the Vortex F1-D floppy controller?
What is it?
- Works like the Vortex F1-D floppy controller, this means it's supported by FutureOS.
- Four drives can be connected (E, F, G and H under FutureOS)
- 40/80 tracks, one or two sides
- FDC765 floppy controller and FDC2992 data separator (like in the CPC6128)
- Floppy controller card is in MX4 format and fits on Mother X4
- No ROM on controller! Makes it smaller :-)
Actually you can use it only with FutureOS.
And now you can buy it for 60 Euros + postage + packaging.
Please contact me via PM if you want one unit.
Greetings!
I reckon it might be fun to make a UniDOS node for it. There is no technical reason it couldn't be done right? I can then plug my 3 FD-1s into my 6128Plus right? How does the cabling work for 4 drives?
You can basically use an old PC floppy cable or - better - make your own one: Then the cable fits your setup. The connection is straight 1:1. But as you know different drives need different connectors / plugs. :)
An UniDOS node would be great, if somebody will do it. (I don't have time though).
Last chance to get your super hyper mega MX4 floppy controller for four additional drives!
Sold out very soon!
