Use real Amiga floppy disks with your MiSTer!
Fantastic work.
Canβt wait for this.
Thatβs not long to waitβ¦
MOTU
It behaves exactly like a real Amiga - reading and writing as you, loading just like original hardware.
Most of the above - designed for Multisystem2 βsidecarβ expansion so can also still use SNAC / Cartridges.
Our goal is to have both MT32pi & Floppy function at the same time (or other SNAC carts + floppy)
We plan to make some enhancements to the FPGA core too.
We have plenty of I/O on MMS2 π
Testing our MiSTer Floppy adaptor for #Multisystem2
Based on the great work of Rob Smith, this Floppy interface for the Amiga Minimig FPGA Core directly reads 3.5 inch floppy discs.
More updates soon.
I expect you could just print TPU or PET directly onto slightly etched copper (pink) and then use that as a mask for etching the rest of the copper away.
Really great podcast series if you need fun and engaging stories. Highly recommended π
Itβs a neat but a little too much manual work. I made some similar 3D prints with raised tracks, coated them in glue and sprinkled on copper nano particles. You then need to burnish them but it worked for basic circuits.
Get copper nano particles from a copper sulphate solution+ ascorbic acid.

3D printing a benchy in just 74 seconds.
Thatβs quite impressive for FDM thermoplastic printing.

Yes, we had to change the MiSTer FPGA core to support optical input and not just Analogue/Digital. Itβs working perfectly now.
Full analogue throttle also working perfectly with the original Atari foot pedal.
We will release the Core and video next week all about it π
