Good job! Happy to see I’m not the only one using lower case for labels and mnemonics 😂 I was wondering why your code seems extra easy to read. So sad you’re 40 years late sending it off to a fab when you’re done with it. Would’ve liked to see it end up as an ic - I guess we can cheat and encase an FPGA in a dip40 when you’re done with it 😊
It would have been helpful to review what the lines to the floppy drives do before you began . Some of us haven't messed around with a floppy drive at the hardware level for decades.
@@GeorgeFoot Yes, it turns out I watched that video several months ago and I have completely forgot I had ever seen it. Also, I don't really want to rewatch a half-hour video just review the basics of what you're doing for this video. There's just a few lines on the floppy connector that need short explanations otherwise everything you're doing in this video is a mystery.
Haha yes. I actually thought I could rig the floppy hardware to just copy a sector to RAM during the reset, a bit like I do in my ARM computer to copy from ROM to RAM - then no ROM would be needed at all. Unfortunately it's probably easier to get data onto the ROM than it is to get it onto a disk...
