Others have mentioned the Meanwell RD-50A Link

Yes, the Meanwell RD-50A fits into Atari ST/E case

 

but it barely fits, on one of my STE, the old PSU shield had to be removed, to fit the Meanwell PSU

[Masteries FujiApple Rev A (as Rev. 00) easy upgrade to FujiApple Rev 01]

19 hours ago, Marsupilami said:

Hello @masteries,

Is it possible to install the latest #Fujinet firmware to this version (see pictures) ?

I tried to upgrade to Fujinet firmware 1.2 version 2023-12-24 with the fujinet flasher 1.4.1 but once done it does not work anymore (i just have the APPLE II logo on the screen and nothing else).

I also tried older versions within fujinet flasher : no success but if i choose "custom firmware" and use your file "FujiApple Masteries 28_3_2023.zip".

But maybe there is a problem on my side, so i just wanted to be sure.
Thanks for your help

Regards.

 

 

 

Greetings Marsupilami,

 

From the photographs, I can see your unit is an upgraded Rev.A (to behave such a Rev. B, in order to be compatible with CP/M feature)

 

Check these firmware list (read the post from 20 October 2023), there is a compiled version for each hardware revision,

the idea is to provide support for all users, from the first hardware versions, to the latest ones:

 

 

 

However,  in v1.2 the SD card compatibility is narrowed,

and there are issues with YellowStone card

(reported by various users, independently of the hardware version, also with the recent one;

something related to the ESP32 used libraries version).

Couple of questions.

 

1. I have a design file for a 3d printed case, but after looking at it I'm not clear how the asci2stm is supposed to mount inside it.
2. Where can I find user instructions for @masteries drive emulator?

 

For answer 1, I have none of these printed cases.

 

For answer 2, you have a message with the detailed usage instructions,

[Just got my FujiNet Apple II version today from Masteries on Tindie, some issues.]

 

Here there is an example of this limitation when using a FloppyEmu:

 

 

This sentence from user @nick3092 provides a clear explanation:

 

"My guess is that the //c rom doesn't expect a smartport device as the first device. It probably expects a 5.25 drive. A smartport device would normally only be connected to the external/drive 2 port. Basically, why would it try to boot a smartport device from drive 1 when drive 1 should always be a 5.25 floppy?

 

Pretty sure that's how my rom4 works (but it's been a while since I booted that with a smartport device). It spins the internal drive first, and if nothing is found in the drive, it then looks for a smartport device in the external port."

 

 

 

As a brief, if you desire to use  5.25" inch disk image with a Fujinet, in an Apple IIc computer:

 

-Connect the Fujinet externally, as usual.

-Select the 5.25" disk image when the Fujinet boot ups as a SmartPort device

-Swap the drive selection signal, now the external device will be 5.25" floppy only

-Restart the computer

 

-Enjoy your 5.25" disk image

 

You need a simple way to swap the internal/extenal device,
