I have two of them, but haven’t considered using them on a DEC system. Then
again, I’ve barely ever used a floppy on my DEC hardware, and then it was 20+
years ago.
My target is my Amiga 600 and Amiga 1200. I have an old one I picked up at the
Portland Retro Gaming Expo five or so years ago, and a new one that I got from
AmigaKit recently. The AmigaKit one is nice, as I had it upgraded with the
OLED and dial. They’re very nice. I really like being able to use a USB
stick, rather than a floppy.
The next computer I’d like to see about converting to flash will probably be an
Apple ][e. My C-64 has used SD cards for year.
