Hi Kevin, I have looked at that one. It does look pretty nifty and would eliminate the need for several of the cards I have in my 11/23+. It is a bit pricey, but looks a bit like a swiss army knife. I'll have to ponder it. Can you attach control panels for the emulated drives to it?
I have the MFM emulator David G. developed and it is working pretty nicely. Just a bit cumbersome to swap disks in it. I like the idea of a physical drive I can pop disks in. - Peter On Thu, Aug 6, 2026 at 12:41 PM Kevin McQuiggin via cctalk < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Peter: > > How about buying qBone from decromancer.ca<http://decromancer.ca>?
