So what is this whole FLEX thing about? Do I have to have it to operate a floppy disk? Or is it just another operating system that is used with a floppy disk?
I'd like to have some non-volatile memory in my SWTPC (it's annoying to keep having to load BASIC every time I turn on the computer!) but I'm not sure the best way to do that.
I do have some lithium-battery-topped 2K RAMs, but they are pretty old; I haven't a clue if the batteries are still any good...
Is there a floppy drive that doesn't require a controller, but rather just address inputs and data in/outs? That would be a very clever approach to non-volatile memory in older computers.
