This was an old project I was working on from time to time but never had the chance to finalize due to different reasons.Now finally I came to a final revision of my Sharp X68000 floppy disk drive emulator.
For the uninitiated the X68000 is a home computer created by Sharp Corporation. It was first released in 1987 and sold only in Japan.This machine is quite popular among videogame enthusiasts since it reproduces arcade experiences like no other home machine (it was used, indeed, by Capcom as development platform of many games)
Many different designs of 'FLIP-FLOP' X68000 FDD emulator have been done since the time of a rough prototyping (which worked pretty good)
This is the final revision of the emulator board :
'FLIP-FLOP' connects to external FDD connector of X68000 and emulates one single drive at once.For now it can be plugged only to tower and PRO models of X68000 but Compact models will be supported later, too
