There has been lots of buzz about the Nabu PC from Canada. I never heard of it before, so wasn't particularly interested. Then I saw chatter about being able to image the disks, but they couldn't be written back to disk. Being a masochist, this suddenly became very interesting.

Well, we now know what it takes to makes real working Nabu PC disks. But it also leads us to a few problems. There are no current sector-based disk image formats that can properly contain these disks as none of them can deal with the special sequence.

All of the "good" IMD files done with ImageDisk are actually missing the sequence because the tool never knew to look for it. We currently are going to need to be flux imaging these disks only. And there are a limited set of tools that can handle reading and writing the disks.

Assembly and testing has been completed for this small batch of Applesauce units! If you are on the wait list, expect an email in the next day or two. Unfortunately I don’t have enough for everyone waiting.

I also have just sold out of Apple 3.5 Sync Sensors. I’m aiming to make a small batch over the next few weeks. The Gerber files for the sync sensors are also on the wiki if you just want to make some on your own.

I’ve secured the parts for a very small Applesauce run. There are a few more available slots on the wait list. Use the order form at applesaucefdc.com to get on the list. No payment needed until ship time in 2-3 weeks.

I'm not a big social media guy (thanks social anxiety), but lots of people that I like to hear from are shifting over to Mastodon. I have set up a presence at oldbytes.space/@diskblitz. Feel free to hit me up over there.

LisaOS had built in copy protection. It wrote your computer serial number onto installer disks when loading software, which prevents it from installing on other computers. Preserving disks is pointless if you can't use them. Applesauce can now easily de-serialize these disks.

And when I say "now", I really mean the work is done now. You get to see it in the upcoming release.
