It will be probably very cheap to build but i want it decent enough to be able to use Linux and its network possibilities. Just need to finish the new hardware part to replace the old USB version. So yes, i am actually working on the next generation HxC. Code: Select all sudo apt install xdotool And then to emulate a right-click, run this: Code: Select all xdotool click 3 As far as a trigger mechanism, maybe you could get a keyboard shortcut to do it. I know that some of you on this forum have built some boards long time ago 😉 To build your own USB HxC all is there : Please note that there is no conversion to do for the user: all is done “on the fly”… Here is the file images loaders currently present in the library: Since all is working under Linux (Unlike the above solution…) the same can be done through a wifi interface, or an simple USB key, or what you want.Īll sources are availables since years there : Īll the software and libraries are working under Linux (and Raspberry Pi), Mac OS X, Windows… A quick search of Kijiji and eBay will reveal hundreds of available machines, most of which are priced around the same as when they were new in the 1980's. In the present demo the file images (ADF,ST,MSA,IPF,…) are uploaded to the Raspberry PI throught the Ethernet port. Step 1: ApplePi: So You Want to Build a Modern Vintage Computer The first step was to find a suitable 68K compact Mac to serve as host for the modern components.

This is the old USB HxC Floppy Emulator working with the Raspberry PI (Rev B) under linux. Well, it seems that i should used an Amiga instead of An Atari ST to make this demo some months ago… 🙁 :
