Description
The FLOPPYFlash is an industrial/OEM grade programmable hardware emulator that uses standard industrial Compact Flash card technology to provide a solid state, drop-in replacement for obsolete electromechanical floppy disk drives. The FLOPPYFlash is available with SLIM-26, FLAT-34, 5.25” & 8 Shugart edge connector interfaces with full height and half height frames.
Further the FLOPPYFlash drive will replace 3.5”, 5.25” or 8” drives, both soft and hard sectored and may be set to operate at various data rates with the matching data encoding schemes, FM, MFM, or MMFM. Similarly, the emulated track configuration is programmable.
The FLOPPYFlash product allows OEMs and service providers to have a quick, cost efficient solution to support their legacy system. The product’s configurable firmware allows a perfect host match, eliminating the need for any host hardware or software changes.
Please click the link below to see the Solid State Disks FLASH2GUI Youtube channel. This offers a demonstration of how the proprietary FLASH2GUI software used alongside the Network FLOPPYFlash drive can offer a a bit for bit image copy of the data allowing backup & restore network capability, alternative drive select options, and also capacity and blocks select features.
The embedded Flash2GUI Image Editor allows image files (.img) to be sent from the FLOPPYFlash drive to a local onsite PC or server. Allowing the unpacking, editing, and repacking of the imaged file. This file can then be resent to the FLOPPYFlash drive as new data file.
