inital results on error correction

While I have yet to actually implement the full-scale error correction as I want to, I did some manual tests today. I basically took a track that I was erroring out on, and swapped in 1-bit away values for the bad bytes. In some cases, it appeared...

Testing shows databit 10 is always stuck high on commodore amiga expansion

With help from Ralf on this comment I was able to Disable the memory by no-longer grounding PIN 32, and sometimes forcing CE high on the SRAM chip. Boot a workbench disk, and then break it on startup. Insert a disk...

making progress on the MFM hardware decoding

The whole question I’ve had for the last couple days (and potentially the last couple months) is how do you turn the signal coming out of the floppy drive into 0’s and 1’s. This really isn’t MFM...
