Is Natami Vapourware?

[Forcie]

Starting new trolling threads over here too, eh? What do you really want to achieve with this personal crusade of yours?

who uses floppys in 2011, guess you ain't heard of flash drives and sd cards etc.

The same people using serial and parallel ports, Atari-standard joystick ports, 15KHz video output etc.
Retro computing enthusiasts. The very target market of the machine.

People are breathing down our necks about compatibility, and you complain about features making it more Amiga compatible?

I myself am heavily dependent upon floppies, not just because I use a lot of older computers, but also because I need them to operate a lot of my older music equipment. Therefore I am very happy that the Natami will support a floppy drive, so I can use it to hack old obscure sampler disk formats etc.

And do not come tell me "lol change ur synths and samplers lol" because there are no modern replacements providing the very same functions and sound.

hxc floppy works on roland samplers too if you ever want to come to present time before your disc fails on you

Thank you, I am well aware of the project. That does not mean I am going to get 20+ of these and gut open a lot of hardware that works perfectly fine in the near future.
