Has anyone interfaced a LS-120 "superfloppy" drive to a S-100 system?
I have one with a parallel port interface that appears on PC systems as a SCSI drive.
My vintage s-100 system is floppy-only - no IDE or SCSI interface.
Could a LS-120 interface be set up just in a BIOS modification + software?
I'm thinking at least some kind of generic SCSI interface board might be needed to cope with the high-speed transfers, subject to limitations of a 4Mb Z80 CPU.
Or can LS-120 masquerade as a FDD driveable by a uPD765 controller?
Just wondering...
