Well that is very promising information.

It would be great if BMOW had some more time.

I know he is a busy dude going forward with Floppy emu right now.

(Witch i have been using the heck outta, and cannot find one single issue with it)

HD20 emu to me sounds exciting, and useful.

I know its not speedy, i just see a unit like this, and people breaking out their 128k's 512k's 512ke's and now getting some serious use outta them. Just think of the mess of software you could put on one of these. and the Slow 500kb data rate is no problem… all the apps you would be running on 128k/512k/512ke would be smaller in size anyways.

I also I do see a use for this to maybe supplement booting from ROM in your HDLESS Classic?

and the portable with its proprietary hard drive, I could see this used to copy valuable old data from these conners!

if you are someone with no external scsi hd or zip, just gives you more purpose for your HD20 EMU!

Maybe Dougg3 could add HD20 support into the his rom? then you could also use this with the II/IIx/IIcx/IIsi - SE/30 -- the Iici still has HD20 support for some reason.
