This project provides the CAD files for an STM32-based floppy-disk controller that can be attached to the back of an ordinary 3.5 inch floppy-disk drive and connected to a USB host via micro USB port.

Invented by Alan Shugart at IBM in 1967, the original floppy disk design measured 8 inches (200mm) in diameter, stored 80KB of data and became available for purchase in 1971 as a part of IBM's ...

We remember the floppy ... floppy disk as its storage medium. It came about with the realization that half an hour of extremely compressed audio could be squeezed onto a standard 3.5 inch floppy ...

It's been two decades since their heyday, but one bulk supplier of the iconic 3.5-inch floppy disk used to store data in 1990s says business is still booming. It’s been two decades since their heyday, ...

It controls the drive using GPIO and samples the read data pin using SPI to obtain a forensic level capture of the raw magnetic flux transitions on the floppy disk. Initially this was created to read ...

Most of us may have gratefully abandoned the floppy disk a decade or more since, but even today many PCs and their operating systems retain the ability to deal with these data storage relics.

At 8-inches in diameter ... for those interested in vintage computing. The floppy disk is an enduring symbol of computing.

(1) An earlier category of high-capacity floppy-like disk drives. In the early 1990s, the failed Floptical disk was the first. Later, the Zip drive fell into the super floppy category. See Zip ...
