OP mentions "USB socket for connecting external memory, such as programs"
I wonder if that means that there will be some internal interface for USB-based storage like a flash drive to be seen by the computer as a floppy disk?
There really needs to be some way to get images of ancient disks mounted through modern hardware, since 40-year-old floppies are going to be very iffy, and it's pretty tough to source new floppy disks to re-write to.
- sixothree 3y agoI might be misunderstanding the question and treating you like you are dumb. If so I'm sorry. That has been the drive for pretty much all vintage computers lately - emulating floppy or hard drives allowing them to load and save disk images. I would assume and hope this USB interface is similar. Here are a few examples: https://www.bigmessowires.com/floppy-emu/ https://www.bigmessowires.com/floppy-emu/ https://scsi.blue/ https://scsi.blue/
- CWuestefeld 3y agoYeah, I think we're in agreement. It's just that the OP doesn't specifically mention this, and I think it's relevant.
