[date: 2013, 2023, ...]

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

Ethernet
Card reader
Serial, parallel, USB, ...
As needed: MFM ISA controller

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