I had a non-working Compaq (Portable) Plus. The fuse would blow out every time I turned it on. I finally got to taking it apart, and I'm a little curious to try a barebones config, but I took the floppy drive out of it. I was able to make disk images of Kaypro's CP/M 2.2 and Microsoft Basic-80 with SAMDisk, but not Appleworks 3.0. Omniflop didn't work either.
I know about ADTPro and I'm curious to try the audio bootstrap. But since this isn't an attempt to get software for Apple II specifically, but rather to test whether reading/writing is possible on this setup - with an IBM PC compatible 360 kb drive. There is some evidence scattered sporadically and tersely around the web that the drive itself is capable of writing and reading Apple II disks.
Does anyone know of/if there is any software for this purpose? Either for OS X (I think 10.5.2) or Windows 7 (32-bit)?
