Description

If you own an Osborne OCC1 or OCC1a computer, here is a unique addition to your computer. This is a solid-state floppy disk emulator designed to mount disk images downloaded from the internet. The unit is fully assembled and tested and is designed to be swapped with one of the Osborne's full-height floppy disk drives (it's able to emulate either the A or the B drive via a built-in jumper).

With this emulator, it's possible to load many disk images into the included USB stick and then use the GoTek built-in dial and alphanumeric display to select the image to boot. It is also ideally suited to copy existing floppy disks, for long term storage, to disk blanks on the USB key. 

This is a complete floppy disk emulator for the Osborne OCC1 and OCC1a fully assembled, tested and ready to use. It includes the GoTek floppy disk emulator with OLED alphanumeric display, a USB stick with many disk images, the special adapter to connect the GoTek to the Osborne and a custom 3D-printed frame that fits in the same space as a full-height floppy drive. Simply swap one of the Osborne's floppy drives with this emulator to run many programs, games and utilities available for download on the internet.

Give new life to your Osborne with this addition!
