Noice.  The floppyemu works pretty well. I have some foibles here with mine,
but I'm unsure if its marginal on the ribbon cables, changing them does seem
to alleviate issues for a while, or its the floppy controller, although I had
tried a few different ones...

I don't have any of the genuine Apple drives, just the half height 5.25's. I
mounted 2 of them with a selector switch into a box with the emulator, so I
can flip the switch and boot from either a floppy or the emulator.
