Product News

The FC5025 USB floppy controller lets you read your old 5.25" disks on your modern computer. It handles a variety of disk formats new and old, not just the common formats supported by today's typical floppy controllers. Working prototypes have been demonstrated, and the product will be available soon, once development is complete.
