There's also a similar implementation using a very inexpensive Cypress PSOC 6 ARM card that mounts on a 3.5" floppy connector (no cable).
That would presumably be the FluxEngine (http://cowlark.com/fluxengine/index.html).
I have the PSOC and I've loaded up the firmware. Now I just need to wire some parts together (PSU+floppy) and I can give it a quick whirl.
It's what I've been saying for years--just about any moderately capable modern MCU can do the job. After all the Gotek emulator uses a nearly obsolescent STM32F107 or 105 MCU. The "blue pill" STM32F103 is quite a bit more capable. Glad people finally tumbled to this.
Indeed. The important part is that someone's written some firmware. Oh, and it's cheap too, of course.
