Floppy disk interface


Circuit of the floppy disk interface. Not the usual circuit based upon a well-known FDC controller IC, but a simple and not so standard solution. The OS65D operating system from OSI, Ohio Scientific, knows how to handle this interface well, and just for this purpose, Elektor choose this solution.
