Open-source Apple II floppy disk emulator using STM32F411. Load DSK images via SD card. Affordable, compact, and easy to use.
What is it?

This is a hardware emulator for the Apple II's Disk II drive, built around the STM32F411 (BlackPill) microcontroller. It enables your Apple II to load and run disk images directly from an SD card, effectively replacing the need for physical floppy disks.

Why did you make it?

Floppy disks are becoming increasingly rare and unreliable. This project was initiated to provide an affordable, open-source solution for Apple II enthusiasts to preserve and enjoy their software collections without the hassles of aging hardware.

What makes it special?

Open-Source: All firmware and design files are available on GitHub, encouraging community collaboration and customization.

Cost-Effective: Designed with affordability in mind, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Compact Design: Small form factor ensures easy integration with your existing setup.

User-Friendly: Features a 0.96" OLED display and three buttons for intuitive navigation and disk selection.

High Compatibility: Emulates the behavior of a real Disk II drive, ensuring compatibility with most Apple II software, including those with copy protection.
