- rasz 8y agoWithout floppy drive you would have to build a..floppy drive, kind of redundant.
- djmips 8y agoDo you really think the article is about someone connecting a logic analyzer directly to a floppy sitting on the lab bench? No, he's connecting it to a floppy drive. That's only logical and also described in the article that you didn't read. Also mentioned in the article in the first paragraph is Kyroflux... Most people only read the headline before commenting?
- 0x0 8y agoThanks, I read the article and I understand all of this. I was just explaining how a kryoflux would not be appropriate for reading a floppy drive "sitting on a lab bench", which I assume is the question that the grand-parent comment was asking. Which is not an unreasonable question to ask. People have done similar things with vinyl records - reconstructing the audio from a photograph/scan of the record with no "vinyl drive". https://mediapreservation.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/extracting-audio-from-pictures/ https://mediapreservation.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/extractin...
