This is a concept drawing that I made for a NADSbox-inspired drive emulator, which I coined "MicroTPDD":

I normally prefer full-sized SD cards over MicroSD ones, but this is the sort of thing that's naturally smaller enough to justify the risk of accidentally inhaling the storage device. Rear panel stuff, from left to right: 1) Micro USB connector 2) 3-position mode/power switch 3) MicroSD socket 4) red/green status LED 4) Firmware update button The three modes would be: 1) USB to serial interface; battery power off 2) DOS bootstrap; battery power on 3) TPDD emulation; battery power on Now, this idea has been rattling around in my head for a while, and I don't know if I'll ever actually get around to the non-trivial task of implementing it. My gumption is limited somewhat since I already have a nice NADSbox to use with my own Model T machines. Another NADSbox production run would be likely to reduce my gumption still further, while lack of a new NADSbox production run coupled with enough people saying "shut up and take my money" might just increase my gumption. :) -- Mark J.
