Mehridian Sanders Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 So I am trying to expand my Atari collection and I may be coming into possession of a 1050 Disk drive. I would like to see if it is possible to interface them (even if it has to go through a Microcontroller communication translator). I have a GOTEK that I have yet to program but I am planning on doing that Tomorrow since I will have some free time. Hmm ... the mind boggles. Please, thoughts.... suggestions... creative alternatives... accusations.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than you´re able to use "XFormer", to read 5,25 Zoll ATARI 8-Bit Floppys to the ST. Gtx., andY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
