The result of Jim's design experiments have lead to this:
Jim Drew:
Presumably with this integrated design concept the Super Tracker would work directly with the uDrive, not the built-in floppy drive.The left display is for my Super Tracker II (digital track display that I sell), and the right display is for the uDrive - a cycle exact 1541 emulator (also a cycle exact multiple different disk drive and hard drive emulator).
The Super Tracker display is pretty interesting, especially for the detail oriented crackers out there:
Regardless of what the this does, I kind of dig the design in general - just the look and feel of it all. The blue outline is a really nice touch.The Super Tracker II displays the current track (including half-track), density level, write protect status, drive motor status, and number of syncs on a track. The SuperTracker II can also control an auxiliary output which can be used to set the disk drive's device number, or even for switching between two different drive ROMs!
I think it would require modifying the storage bay to account for the wiring, etc. But how cool is that?
