Notes

From the instructables link a key point:

A quick note on the wiring. I added a barrel jack to the back of the lid for the power. I joined the GND/0v from the power supply to the 0V on the Arduino, however the 5V from the power supply only goes to the floppy drive.

From Step 3 of https://www.instructables.com/id/Amiga-Arduino-Floppy-Drive-CaseEnclosure/

This contradicts the circuit diagram where it shows the 5v going to the floppy drive, the 34 pin header and the arduino.

Future Projects

• It would be interesting to build a raspberry pi into enclosure running an emulator.
• Add a change to the Amiga emulator so that the floppy drive can be used to read “real” Amiga disks.
