If you have a 3D printer, heres a 5.25" full height to 3.5" floppy adapter I designed I'd love feedback on this! I was surprised I couldn't find one online, so I modeled this up last night and tossed it on Thingiverse. I haven't printed one just yet, but it should work fine. I plan on using...

For the past couple of months I have been fighting my Osborne trying to get it to boot from real floppies. Lots of troubleshooting and spare parts later, I found that all 4 of my floppy drives are bad! Yesterday I successfully adapted the non-standard shugart interface to a Gotek Floppy...

Hi guys! I just picked up a Osborne 1. White plastic shell version (later model?) ROM 1.43. It has the double density upgrade. After replacing PSU capacitors, it powers on fine. However, I cant get it to boot from either floppy drive. The drives just spin, and it slowly loops "BOOT ERROR"...

Now that my TRS-80 4p is in working condition, I'd like to get some disks made. I have successfully serial booted it and run a single program over RS232. The Apple II has a great program called "ADT" (Apple Disk Transfer) that allows you to transfer disk images over serial from a windows box to...

Just picked up this for $3 at a thrift shop: I rigged a PSU up to it, and it does power on and post, but not completely. It immediately says +++ ERROR: ROM checksum failure! +++ and the speaker continuously squeals. No beeps, just continuous tone. I have reseated all the ROM chips, and...

I have a Model 5150 Im trying to turn into a web server. The server works running off a floppy, but would like to run off a HD before DIGG'ing it. As soon as I try to format a drive in the WD format utility (debug c=g800:5), I get "Error---completion code 01", and it quits to DOS I have tried...

I recently picked up an IBM model 5150, that I would like to turn into a 8088 webserver. I already have the software set up, and have successfully hosted a page off a 360k floppy! Before I make this live however, I want to run it off a small MFM drive instead, so its not constantly wearing...
