I'm trying to preserve my Acorn ADFS 3.5" discs. To this end, I've purchased a
KryoFlux "Pro" board and a new-old-stock ALPS floppy drive.
I've hooked it all up to a Windows 8.1 VM and everything *seems* to be working.
However, the .adl images I create are all 0KB in size.
I've created a profi
I'm trying to image are 800KB "double density" designed
for the 32 bit ARM based computers. I can't find any 720KB PC floppies,
but I'll follow the methodology with 1.44MB HD ones to see where it takes
me.

I'm toying with putting the "ultimate" classic Mac together, although I'm
having a little difficulty pinning down the definition of what the ultimate
representation of the type is, so was looking for a little input from
Classic CMP'ers.
I'm aware that there's a clear divide between Motorola and Po

catering for two suites of eMacs and iMacs running 9.2.1 "back in the day", and
