- Yellowstone is a custom disk controller card for the Apple II series of computers. It supports 5.25 inch floppy drives, 3.5 inch floppy drives, and intelligent Smartport drives and hard disks. This demo shows using Yellowstone to boot an Apple IIe from an emulated 3.5 inch floppy drive, using the BMOW Floppy Emu disk emulator.

Nice to see that you’re still actively making the world better in your own way. I’m a huge fan, you made my childhood a lot better with Tetris Max. Hope you have a great day and keep up the good work!
This is awesome, great work! Looking forward to getting this when the final version is ready.
Dood that’s totally awesome.
Very nice!
Hi Steve, I had the four-floppy registered version of Tetris Max that got lost in a move many years ago. Do you still have the disk images?
Why the thumbs down? There's clearly a big mess of wires.
Any plans to add HD 3.5 disk support?
Hello,
I would be interested in bying the Floppy Emu but I have a couple of questions.
So I have a Macintosh Classic, that has been recapped by someone and it does boot fine. I can even boot into System from the ROM. But the hard drive seems to be dead.
1. If I buy the SD card option will I get softwares in French or are those English only ?
2. I have a folder on my "modern" Mac with a lot of French systems, let's say that I boot from a System installer floppy on my Macintosh Classic, wll I be able to install that System to another partition or folder or dmg... ?
3. Let's say I booted from System 7, but I want to open MacPaint let's say, can I like mount MacPaint after System 7 (like both at the same time ?) If no then how do I open an app.
4. According to the video on the Floppy Emu page it can emulate a Hard Disk, so could I do the following :
a) Boot from a System 7 installer
b) Install it to the "Hard Disk" from the floppy emu
c) And then boot from the Hard Disk like when my normal Macintosh HDD used to work
d) And can I put games and apps to that Hard Disk basically like what I used to do before : System 7 on the 40MB HD and installing apps and games to that HD and opening those from there.
Thanks in advance
I wouldn't replace a hard disk drive with an Emu on a Mac Classic. I'd instead stick to the SCSI support, and look for a SD-based SCSI emulator board. They're roughly $100 or so. The Floppy Emu is great, but it isn't a total replacement of hard disk drive.
@@yuppiehi Yeah that’s what I figured out so I guess I will buy a SCSI2SD in the first place and then a Floppy Emu.
@@LUKAS-bb4jc Besides SCSI2SD, there's also BlueSCSI and maybe RaSCSI.
