The DominoDisk, photographed on my Apple //c

Second, the electronics stores are much less greedy than eBay sellers, and were selling their 20-years-old stock at a normal price for a stupid connector instead of 10-20€, so I can now drop 10€ of the price of the #BurgerDisk and #DominoDisk !

… And for a few minutes there, I was actually happy with my keyboard collection. I need to stop being online.

This is great. I definitely need one to go with my #MiSTer.

(I’m sure @ronscompvids.bsky.social has one on order.)

初期型AppleIIの思い出。電源を入れると画面がランダムパターンのままフリーズしていて、自分でリセットボタンを押してようやく起動するという仕様に衝撃を受けた。なるほど、コンピューターというのは電源投入後は動作が不定なものだと知る貴重な機会だった。しかしやはり不便だったのか、後のバージョンではパワーオンでリセットがかかるようになっていた…

Reference sheet of a humanized Apple, an Inanimate Insanity character. She has light skin with freckles across her face, neck, chest, hands, and legs. Her hair is red and puffy and is put up into a high bun that loosely resembles the shape of an apple, and her eyebrows are rounded and green in color. She wears a green headband with an apple stem and leaf on top. Her clothes consist of a red off-shoulder T-shirt and wears green overalls with yellow buttons on top. The pocket on her overalls is a lighter green and has three pins on it; a white pony head, a red heart, and a Christmas tree. She wears a white beaded bracelet on her right arm and has nails painted in a green and red pattern. She wears white asymmetrical legwarmers with the one on the right being taller with a red stripe at the top, and the left being shorter with a green stripe instead. She wears red crocs as shoes. The right of the reference sheet shows a picture of the original un-humanized character (an apple), with the text below it reading: Apple (ii) All pronouns (except masculine pronouns) American Underneath the text displays the American, Faeflux, and Lesbian flag.

More Apple II chainable hard drives? While I’m still waiting on the next step of the Kickstarter (finalizing the pledges and addresses should take them another week), I’ve kept myself busy and imagined variants on the BurgerDisk device. As I said elsewhere, I would love that everyone who wants to be able to use modern storage **and their floppy drives** at the same time, to be able to do so. The Kickstarter proved two things: * I’m far from the only one wanting to do that * Exporting from France to the USA is expensive, and off-putting some enthusiasts At least it’s extremely expensive at my scale. For me, shipping 400g of things outside of the EU is 30 to 40€, and to the USA? Add the orange fascist clown’s tariffs and it’s all the way up to 65€. Luckily, Joe from JCM-1 is interested in providing USA people with my device. What he’s not very interested in, however, is spending one hour assembling every one of them, which I can understand. The BurgerDisk requires quite a bit of work to gather parts and assemble, as can be seen from the Bill Of Materials: main PCB, adapter PCB, MicroSD PCB, Arduino, 139 solder points, LED cabling, box printing (5.5 hours). It is possible to order assembled PCBs for the main PCB, sparing the need to solder components and headers, but all the rest will still be needed. So Joe suggested to me that I look into options that would make for easier assembly. I have looked into that and am experimenting with two smaller designs: the “Mini BurgerDisk” (which does not have a special, cool name for now), and the DominoDisk. Both of these get rid of the Arduino Nano and the MicroSD module, integrating both into the main PCB, leaving only the need to solder the DB19 connectors. A family of daisy-chainable Apple II hard drives Peeking inside the enclosures, it’s easy to see how simpler the assembly of the two small siblings is: The three models, opened. The two small versions have exactly the same features as their big brother. They’re all cabled the same so share the same firmware. They have an ICSP header for updating it. The ATMega328P-AU on them is configured the same, so uploading firmware is the same process. They both have an LED, and of course a daisy-chaining port. So far, both of them are prototypes and are not ideal. The MiniBurgerDisk you see here has the decoupling capacitors layout all wrong, and the DominoDisk is much too deep at 54mm including connectors. I’m working on a 4-layers version of the PCB that will allow it to be more compact. Still, in its current version, it’s compact enough that it doesn’t interfere with the IIc monitor stand when that sturdy Disk //c is plugged into it. Viewed from the side, there is ample room to put the Apple //c under the monitor stand Of course, these devices will also be open hardware. I hope that both of these versions will be ready in April or May!

One thing I’ve always wondered: Why was the Apple IIc+ not an all-in-one Apple IIgs without slots?

It was really confusing at the time, too. A zero-slot respin of the Apple IIgs logic board (either revision) would have fit easily in the Apple IIc case.
