The git repository (now at https://codeberg.org/electrickery/pfbdk) now has the sources for PX-8 PFBDK-management programs. Still rough and certainly not bug-free, but workable. These new programs use some simple library routines to keep the code relatively clean. And they use BDOS routines wherever possible. The idea is still to merge the programs with the PX-4 variants, but that is for later. There might be some spin-off programs later.
Reading the ToDo-list, it is nice to see some progress is made. Apart from the PX-8 programs, the PFBDK-firmware now can used to emulate one or two disk terminals. This allows to use it with a real disk terminal (PF-10, TF-15, TF20) or a PC-based program (vfloppy) to make file transfers between media simpler.
The daisy chain circuit is now also realized and tested. I do not plan to make a separate board for this, but integrate it into the next version of the PFBDK-Aurduino-micro board.
The default configuration issue is still unrealized.
