Japan just got rid of their dependence on floppies. Seems Germany has decided to get with the times. Article suggest that they are using a floppy emulator. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/storage/german-navy-aims-to-repla... Herb and I have been discuss something similar for the last few weeks. I'm adding a floppy emulator to my Peripheral Technologies PT69-5A and PT68K2s. Getting the files from Linux/DOS/Windows to the disk image has been an interesting challenge. And getting the images from the real floppy to the image files another adventure. Still working on that one. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry kd2zrq@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies KD2ZRQ
