Hello,
The MB has been close to my heart since long time ago.
The Z80 was perfect for my deep interest of learning machine code. Getting that fist think book "programming Z80" back in 80's and my age around 14yr old. I'v already started out building the Elektor TV games computer with the Signetics processor 2650.
Now and then the Z80 has come to an end in production, however the itteration level of computing capacity has increased tremendouesly and we might either start emulating the processor with other processor or handcraft own ASIC wafers to replace Zilog parts.
I have an old MB 32 stored in my hardware archive so I can just pop it out and remember old days, however when discover this repository, I need to get the software more accessable than thos old tapes
So discovered the Gotek, however need good help to understan how I can create image and install it on the other MB 120 (with 2x 5,25") by replacing one of them. I saw that there was a PDF describe how to install the Gotek, but have no access as I understan... hope to get help.
My current project, I got some discoung ticket of manufacturing PCB, so I just start developing an emulator to direct replace the floppy disc contoller WD179(3) So I can run disks over internet instad... Maybe I will never have time to finalize it - however it is fun to streach the braincells sometimes.
With hope to enrich the lovely microbees nest
