things are still pretty much the same on that front. The KF folks and
I certainly don't see eye-to-eye on the topic of open software. By
itself, a KF board with the KF software is of limited use in my
opinion, unless you're using it just for one of their very
well-supported platforms like Amiga.
Well, it's all a bit silly, with cheap high-speed MCUs with lots of
memory nowadays. Stuff I usually do with a Catweasel, I could easily do
with any of the 32-bit MCUs with at least 128K of memory.
Anyone really interested in a DIY Kyroflux-like device? I suspect that
given the speed of today's MCUs, one might also handle ST506 interface
drives. Mostly, it takes a little interface logic and a bunch of coding.
