=FDDSE Floppy Disk Drive Serial Emulator=

{{blockquote|I implemented this serial server for the post era FDC+ Altair floppy disk drive controller from deRamp in c# on mono. That way it can be run on Windows, Linux or apple}}

Here is the Altair 8800b with the [http://deramp.com/fdc+product.htm FDC+ floppy disk drive replacement board] running in serial mode. It's connected to the Beagle Bone Black via the usb port through a serial dongle. Note the bone usb hub. I plan to use the serial port in the future with a MAX232 to utilize BBB on board resources and reduce wire clutter.

Below is a putty ssh into the BBB, with a TeraTerm console for the cp/m terminal. With no change to the distribution files for my FDDSE it runs on Windows and linux. I haven't tested it on Apple yet.
