You’ll find the Floppy Emu Gerbers in the file archive, in the directory eaglefloppyemugerbers.zip. Otherwise, there are many on-line services that will make these for you, using a set of layout files called Gerbers. Send me an email to ask if I have any extra PCBs available. To begin building your Floppy Emu, you’ll need a printed circuit board. Lower capacity cards tend to perform better at small transfers – try a card with 2GB capacity or less. An SD or SDHC card that’s fast when transferring small data blocks.An AVR programmer, such as the AVRISP mkII.AVR Studio 6 probably works too, but I haven’t tried it. Now with that out of the way, let’s get started! You’re free to build one for personal use, or adapt and share the design for other non-commercial projects, but please don’t build a batch of Floppy Emus and sell them on eBay. These can be soldered by hand, but it’s challenging work.įloppy Emu is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 license. Be warned there are several SMD chips with fine-pitch 0.5 mm pin spacing. You can buy a pre-assembled and tested Floppy Emu, or if you’re comfortable with surface mount soldering and have an AVR programming tool, you can build a Floppy Emu at home.
