| Floppy Emu Atari Cartridge Case | |
| Posted by: 3583Bytes on 2016-01-19 21:58:12 I love my Floppy Emu from BigMessOWires.com. Specially he hard drive emulation mode. However it always bothered me that it did not have a case. I hopped that someone would at some point post cool retro design for a 3D Printer but so far no luck. So I decided to make my own. I wanted to be retro so I went through all my non working retro junk and settled on a broken Atari Cartridge. It requires some cutting so the screen shows but it fits in. Here are the pictures of how it looks.   I am still hoping one day to run into a broken Apple Floppy or something to convert into a case, but for now it will do. | |

BMOW do offer a case for the EMU (I have one), works well, third item down, but currently out of stock: Universal Case for Floppy Emu Model A or B, Clear Acrylic, $18 | |

I just leave it In Hard Drive mode so I rarely use the buttons. I am aware of the Floppy Emu case but I wanted something "Retro". The best would be a 3D Printed case in the shape of a floppy drive like this SD Card solution for the Commodore 64: http://www.thefuturewas8bit.com/shop/commodore/sd2iec-be.html | |
