jepler just tossed us a build of circuitpython with the new native 'adafruit_floppy' module which implements MFM decoding 'on the fly' to provide python-native filesystem support for floppy drives! yep, you can now store files and code that is read or executed off of a floppy disk. we whipped up a quick demo that lists the files on a disk and pages through any textfiles it finds, and tossed on a copy of phrack 49 http://phrack.org/issues/49/1.html - its a total classic - we were able to page through the whole thing to verify the FAT12 filesystem works as expected! next up, file writes?
