Subject: Re: Looking for a MicroController Recommedation
Stupid question, but relevant:
Are you simply after an ND emulation for a limited number of platforms?
If so, it might be far simpler to program each platform specifically.
This is the way it's done with the inexpensive Chinese floppy emulators
and
they work quite well for their purpose. One popular
one uses a STM32 ARM
and little else. The larger benefit is that the flash drive used to hold
the data
in its native form (i.e. not MFM pulses).
One variation I've seen even uses a USB connection to change the program.
I'm guessing that the primary consumer of this device will be the DEC
community. The personal computer community has had various devices
(such as IDE or flash drive) as replacements.

Sorry if I am being dumb, but what does ND stand for?
