Actually, I know someone with the capabilities of doing this, but I don't know if he has the time. Let me ping him and see what he thinks. -----Original Message----- From: cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Jules Richardson Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 8:26 PM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: USB Universal Floppy Disk controller On Thu, 2005-03-10 at 19:49 -0500, Barry Watzman wrote: Personally I'd rather have parallel or serial or SCSI interfaces, but each to their own :-) But yep, agreed. I certainly need *something* that can archive / restore classic formats to/from modern(-ish!) media. Over mine too really. I'd be able to build one given a schematic, but probably couldn't design something from scratch. Actually, I'd much prefer a schematic anyway for peace of mind as well as curiousity value. Given the know-how on the list I'm suprised there hasn't been a collective effort in the past to build something. Maybe the majority of us either: 1) only specialise in one machine and so do backups in whatever way's easiest for our own hardware, 2) are lucky enough to be blessed with online archives of software so backups aren't needed 3) aren't taking any backups at all! :-) cheers Jules
