Doing some new tests with the DaynaFILE. I've mentioned before that if you try to format a 5.25 inch floppy in the DaynaFILE as HFS, it will fail. I have found a program called "Disk Charmer" which does some kind of a quick format on disks and allows you to switch back and forth from DOS, HFS...
What kind of custom controller is it? Just having the Atari plug doesn't mean Atari compatible. Systems like the Genesis and the Vertex have the same plug, but are electrically different. Easiest solution is to get an Atari 2600 joystick and try it out.
I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully until now, to connect optical media to the iPhone over USB. Well, I’ve finally cracked it.
Instead of the usual bit with me adding some data to a disk and showing it working with the iPhone, I’ll take a look at three decades worth of retail optical media...
Everyone always complains about having to use Apple's dongles and adapters. I decided to make the most convoluted one I could, and see if the iPod Photo could actually use it.
I don't know. I've heard the USB 2.0 SCSI adapters need drivers. I know the one like mine that use the "Shuttle Technology" chipset are USB 1.1 and don't need drivers. You can buy them here. https://www.yoycart.com/Product/561501395767/
I was curious if my AlphaSmart 3000 would work with an iPhone. I wanted to see not only if the core word processing features would work, but also if I could use the AlphaSmart's "send file" feature as a macro for controlling the iPhone. I put together a little video showing off these...
Apple has recently updated iCloud sharing to allow folders. I've decided to move the apps (OldHex and XPostFloppy) I wrote and shared on here a while back to a singular folder, rather than individual links. This will make it a one stop shop, in case I add more software in the future. Today I'm...

I wanted to share another app I just wrote. I have been irritated that for years the Disk Utility app in Mac OS X can't format a disk in HFS+ without journaling turned on. This requires about a minimum 9 MB disk, which excludes floppies. You can go to the Terminal and do just HFS+, but that...
