Possibly one of the best Floppy Drive Interfaces ever made for the ZX Spectrum - way ahead of its time. When Rocky released this, floppy drive options (especially in South Africa) were very limited. I have fond memories of having one which was the envy of many of my school mates at the time.
All the 'heads' who were into the ZX Spectrum in CPT at the time used hang out at Electronic Supermarket in Burg street on a Saturday morning. Anyon remember Pierre ? Justin Graham ? Sandy ? I always wondered what happened to those guys.
Can’t believe I’m stumbling on this. I still have my zx spectrum and Rocky Gush floppy interface and floppy drive. Not sure if it still works as it’s over 35 years old, but literally have hundreds of games on old disks.
@@skotii I'd need to dig it out and see exactly what remains and if t still works. My last Spectrum was the 128k plus 2, I tend to remember their being compatibility issues. It's also with a box of dozens of tapes of copied games and loads of originals too. I would have very little idea how to get them off the floppy drives onto a contemporary format even if it did work.
There is no easy way to do this. One option is to use a Gotek with FlashFloppy to make a full disk copy. However, if I remember correctly, the interface won't allow copying the disk if there are snapshots. I'm using the Greaseweazle device: github.com/keirf/greaseweazle/wiki
Hi skoti. Thank you for your videos and projects. Any chance of doing a clone of this interface? Or maybe adapting the floppy interface for the +2A, in order to use it in a regular Spectrum 48k?

This is one of my favorite interfaces. Do you have a possibility to make a dump this disks?

This is already a clone and this interface is not working with 128k machines.
@@skotii Oh I see. Is there a github page for it?
