Like for 'The Thing' (the FM Towns Marty FDD emulator), 'ZILOG' (which I named like this in honor of the Z80 CPU that equips these home computers) replaces the internal mechanical floppy drive with a board able to emulate the floppy interface reading disk images stored on a USB flash drive :
'ZILOG' emulator is powered by the great Flash Floppy firmware and can be controlled by a small external rotary/OLED board :
