MiSTer Floppy

Floppy Drive Interface for the MiSTer FPGA


Order It Yourself

Currently you can order these PCBs (assembled or un-assembled) from PCBWay. I'm sure that over time it will be available from other sources too including my waiting list.

There are two variants. A Thru-hole version that is best suited to someone that wants to build it themselves, and an SMD version which is much smaller, and will be fully assembled for you.

As well as the PCBs, you'll also need a suitable cable, and three jumper links, and optionally an external power supply.

Suitable User Port Cable

I've also designed a simple 3D Printed case for the Surface Mount version. It's very basic and I'm sure a better one could be made.
