Interfacing floppy, or ide to midibox projects

[commodoreeightyfour]

Hi,

This is gonna sound ridiculous, but I like the aesthetic of a floppy drive on my synths and grooveboxes. Is there anyway possible to substitute a bankstick with a floppy drive or other removable storage device?

A bankstick is removable. So you can put them into whatever-kinda case you want. Like a 3 1/2" floppy disk. With the SMD version of the 24LC512 that's definitely doable :)

Real floppy disk:

Short answer: Neh.

Long answer: Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Unless you spend a substantial amount of time on writing a driver and fixing the hardware and more programming and yadda yadda.
