There are software solutions: - Anadisk, a DOS program that didn't seem to be much good when I tried it.
- O-F, a program that lets OS9/68000 v2.4 (OSK) systems read FLEX09 disks. I have an OSK system in regular use, but no copy of O-F. Both of these read FLEX disks without needing a bootable FLEX system. Mine is bootable, but only has a parallel printer port. As it has no serial ports, a hardware solution requires an interface module which might be: - a parallel to serial/USB converter (Ardiuno, Parallax BS2 STAMP, or RaspberryPi and maybe IOIO) solution. I know the BS2 STAMP and like the sound of RaspberryPi since it runs Linux but both involve some hardware fettling and careful programming. I want to know of the IOIO might also fit the bill with less modification and/or programming than either the BS2 or RaspberryPi. - building an SS-50 serial board for the FLEX system. Last resort, really since it would need drivers to be written for my FLEX system and (probably) a port of Kermit. Lots of work for a one-off task! That's probably more than enough detail! But, to add a little more, my intention is to develop a Java FLEX09 emulator (MC6909 + ROM monitor + FLEX09) that can execute binary programs written for a FLEX09 system.
