FDDSE Floppy Disk Drive Serial Emulator
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 from the very same distributable file(s)
Here is the Altair 8800b with the 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.
Source code
Coming soon to my github account.
