Quick Update: 8" Floppy Drive & NABU RS422 Adaptor (19-Apr-2023)
18A quick update:
[1] Almost have all the parts to continue work on the 8" floppy drive. New power supply (+5VDC and +24VDC) has arrived ... just waiting on the power connector (next few days).
[2] Forgot to order the 240VAC power supply (+5VDC and ±12VDC) for the NABU - doh! Ordered it today. But in the meantime, I have the parts to internalise the DE9-to-USB RS422 adaptor. So I did some work on that to get it ready.
Thanks again to @MrWaalkman for sending me that extra Koike (小池) solenoid!

More importantly, for the NABU, check out @DJSures and @JamiesHackShack videos ... let's see if I can get RS422 working!
