Indeed, Anthony, I am tempted by the idea of recompiling and running BP1! The question remains of source files on 5 1/4 floppy disks. If you have this floppy disk drive (and the FC5025 controller to connect it to USB) then I will send you one of the floppy disks. If not I am inclined to buy them. The FC5025 USB 5.25" Floppy Controller: http://shop.deviceside.com/prod/FC5025 The disk drive: https://www.ebay.de/itm/APPLE-II-DISK-II-Floppy-Drive-525-Model-A2M0003-Tested-Working-01/264754815254 (I have seen many other models on eBay Germany.) hoping that connecting them together will be sufficient to power the drive. I am not longer equipped for building a power supply… I have asked this question to the vendor of the disk drive.
