The #FlaccidOstrich repository is now public! https://codeberg.org/hkzlab/Flaccid_Ostrich

The Flaccid Ostrich is a clone of #FloppyEmu, a floppy/smartport emulator for #apple2 and #Macintosh computers.

Thanks to #PCBWay for having sponsored the PCBs for this project!

I recreated the schematics to repair my original unit, and while I was at it, I decided to build a clone using THT technology, just in case someone wants some DIY.

Have fun! If you like my work, feel free to throw a few credits to me via Ko-Fi (link in bio) ☕. I use them to buy components for the projects I work on and release for everyone to use.

They really, really help.
