Just after some suggestions here, I'm planning to use a 386 or 486 (or whatever is needed) + primary and secondary (separate) floppy controllers.
Ideally I want to be able to:
- ssh or telnet in
- support the secondary floppy controller
- be able to "dd" raw images to various formats
- able to access or provide a network share accessible by either Windows or newer Linux systems (probably Ubuntu)
I haven't picked or built the hardware I want to use yet, just want an idea of OS options and also if anyone knows of any information regarding a secondary controller.
It's not something that's necessary, but I figured it'd be a fun project. I've got 5.25 DD 40 + 80 track, 5.25HD, and 3.5HD drives to put in.
