hard drive and floppy disk emulator
A MFM & RLL hard drive and floppy disk emulator on eBay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/-/301968006996 Rolf
Interesting. The website for the product is http://www.drem.info Although the one thing I would have to question is that it says it's the "only" MFM/RLL hard drive emulator, which is not accurate.

I think it’s the only combined unit that does both in one module.... .... but it looks like it will only do one at once, and so its very expensive for floppy use...

I agree. Although since its FPGA based, one could download additional cores and have it be a hardware based emulator for vintage systems as well. On Friday, June 3, 2016, Dave Wade via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

That would be difficult. It's a closed source commercial project. He doesn't provide source or a partitioned net-list. So integrating anything else with his emulation code on the FPGA is nigh impossible. That being said, it seems to me writing a PCM recorder/player at some harmonic of 5 (MFM), 7.5 (RLL), or 20 (ESDI) MHz should be straight-forward. -Alan On 2016-06-03 11:10, Joseph Oprysko via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
