Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>My horribly old <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/desktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>desktop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a> is finally starting to die. Currently running a backup (using <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zfs</span></a> send/recv) to my server of one important local dataset.</p><p>Now I started looking for new hardware and to my surprise found a "modern" mainboard with a "real" parallel port (internal header, certainly good enough). This really helps with my retro hobby (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a>), years ago I soldered a simple interface cable that allows using a 1541 floppy on the PC, I even ported the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opencbm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opencbm</span></a> driver for that from <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>. Without a parallel port, you'd need some complex USB interface instead including a microcontroller and "tons of shit", while the cable for the parallel port basically consists of a few diodes.</p><p>Now I wonder one thing: I'd also love to have a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FDC</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/floppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>floppy</span></a> drive controller) again. Is there any modern board coming with THAT as well or should I just forget about it?</p>
