Hmmmm. I was moving boxes of components and ran into that small lot of QFP 68030 I bought months ago.

Reminds me I need to design a QFP version of the MiniPerformer+

fuck off. It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it.

Ah yes. My old friend, stab-your-right-eye-and-crack-your-skull headache.

How I missed you.

Next, a decision needs to be made regarding the #Tauntingboard, my mockinboard clone.

Rev. 0 required some bodging to work properly. I have already integrated all of them in Rev. 1, but maybe it's worth doing another run before releasing it.

What do you think?

First of three new projects released: The #GalDiskII, sponsored by #PCBWay (thanks!)

An #Apple2 Disk II controller clone using a PLD in place of the P6A PROM.

It does away with the transistors used to turn on/off some ICs and introduces a few quality-of-life improvements I wanted (mainly the ability to configure it for the FloppyEmu dual-drive emulation mode).

It was built to help me test my P6A to 22V10 conversion, and is now the controller of choice for my //e clone.

Enjoy, it's free for everyone!
If you want to support me, a few credits on https://ko-fi.com/hkzlab are always appreciated!

#GalDiskII tested with a real floppy drive, both as first and second drive, both read and write.
It works.
Time to get it released.

And sorry for the mess!

Quite busy and tiring day. Loads of work in the country.
I planned to test the #GalDiskII with a real drive in the evening but I can't really find the energy now. Getting to it tomorrow, probably.

I'll start preparing the repo for release, instead. Regenerating the new rev.1 gerbers, writing the readme, cropping pictures...

Out of curiosity, to all the #Apple2 aficionados here, do we have open source smartport controllers for the Apple2, beside the SmartDisk][? https://github.com/btb/SmartDiskII
