Links

The bulk of my content currently revolves around my Amiga floppy project -- most of the links are going to be somehow related. Eventually though, as I get more travel photos online, and get some of my other projects online, I would expect this to change and I will futher subdivide as necessary.

Information about generic MFM

 

I was going to list four or five sources here, that I found via google, but I've decided against it, at least for now. The problem is that these sites talk about MFM in a very generic sense, and that is OK, but I think it deviates too far from the amiga implementation. There are rules like "transitions in the middle of the bit cell" etc which simply doesn't apply to amiga floppies.
