When I left in 2014, LCM's Massbus disk emulator
was working quite well
indeed, and was running in 'production' ... ISTR the plan was always to
open-source the hardware and firmware, too.
I'm interested in this (as I suspect are lots of other people with machines
that can use MASSBUS disks). Can you briefly describe what it was? Does
anyone know anything about the status of the plans to open-source it?
