Hello. I am a very friendly person, and I am trying to make friends here.
I am one of those persons that needs to build their things from scratch, just for the magnificent beauty of understanding how they work, getting close to the metal, and for the satisfaction of knowing you have built it from scratch.
I want to build a floppy drive from scratch. Why ? Because I have a thing for floppy drives. I think they are magnificent inventions.
The thing is that I don't really know how they work. Just barely. What I know is that they work with flux changes. For example, to write a sequence of data, 0's, and 1's, are represented by flux reversals. But I don't know the specifics of that. Is there a reference flux at the start of the data say for a 1, and then any reversal after that is a 0, and no reversal is a 1 ?
Also I know that the clock is scrambled into the data. How does that work?
Do you know of any nice documents I could read in order to understand this stuff?
Thanks my friends
With a lot (I really mean a lot) of LOVE..................
