Retro-computing Interface Machine

[date: 2013, 2023, ...]

I have a somewhat modern machine dedicated to supporting my older machines. It is a quite upgraded Super-7 based board.

Specs

The purpose of this machine is to be a flexible IO hub, to allow data transfers between many old and new machines.

Floppies

A primary purpose of this machine is to be able to work with floppies. I have more floppy notes over here:

EPROM Burner

Needham's EMP-20 EEPROM programmer

RLL Controller

DTC 7287 RLL controller, for low-level formatting old hard drives and bringing them back to life.

TODO: Notes on getting an old RLL controller to play nicely with a more modern IDE system. Or only do this in a 286.
