Yellowstone Floppy Interface

Imagesource: https://www.bigmessowires.com/

One or the other Apple ][ lover will know the name: Yellowstone Floppy Interface. This lovely piece of PCB replaces The Disk ][ Controller on demand and comes from none other than Steve Chamberlin better known as Big Mess O' Wires.

So far so good. And even though this piece of hardware is interesting by itself, it gets even more interesting when Nicole Branagan implants it into her Apple ][ Plus. 🩺

And That's exactly what happened. Her story reads entertainingly as usual, and in equally familiar detail, you marvel at what can be so special about a floppy controller for our beloved machines from the 80s.

Relaxed reading for in between, and not only for fans of slightly older Apple devices.
