AW: [sdiy] Flash Drive with Floppy Interface?

[Ullrich Peter]

Hi Achim!

>is anybody aware of a Flash Drive that has a standard (PC/MFM) Floppy 
>Interface?  I'd like to retrofit the 3 1/2" drives in my synths 
>(notably the K5000 and the WAVE) before they go the way of the Dodo.  
>I'd prefer SD/MMC cards as the storage medium as I have a good number 
>of (not too big) cards of that format.  There would need to be a way to 
>switch between a number of floppy images on the card (without involving 
>a computer connection) and to preferrably direct any formatting 
>commands to a new image rather than killing off the one that happens to 
>be switched in.

The only solution I know is the FlashPath Disk.
A 3.5inch sized gadget with electronics and cell battery that
can read Smartmedia Flash cards and generates floppy disk signals.

Works quite fine. ( I have one for one old digicam...
