![]() After some research, I found a VERY neat program called ADTPro that actually bootstraps the Apple via the serial port. One challenge was that I had zero floppy disks for it, despite having the actual drives, so no way to actually boot it to anything. Once I got it working, I had to learn how to use it as that generation Apple is foreign to me.

I’ve had some experience with them over the years, including picking up various Macs, usually via dumpster dives and curb finds over the years, but they never appealed to me like the IBM compatibles did. In true Jeff fashion, I finally got around to building my Floppy Emu emulator, only a year or two or three after actually buying it, which emulates many various Apple and Mac floppy drives as well as even some hard drives.
