![]() The pictures show a 3.5″ drive, but it also supports 5.25″ units and both DD and HD drives. In addition it incorporates the FatFS library for MS-DOS FAT file-level access, and finally the ArduDOS environment which allows browsing of files on a floppy. The library provides functions to allow low level work with floppy disks, to read them sector by sector. shows us this in style, with a floppy interface, software library, and even a rudimentary DOS, for the humble Arduino Uno. The interface for a floppy drive might have required some complexity back in the days of 8-bit microcomputers, but even for today’s less accomplished microcontrollers it’s a surprisingly straightforward hardware prospect. ![]() For many of us the passing of the floppy disk is unlamented, but there remains a corps of experimenters for whom the classic removable storage format still holds some fascination. ![]()
