Oh cool! I’m sure people have been waiting for this!

It’s an adapter that you can build up yourself so that you can launch games on your Mister/TapTo device via a floppy disc. There are definitely dozens of us that wanted this!

Does it make floppy sounds?

Yes because it is actually reading the disk. I even move the tracks a little between reads so it makes some more noise.

So I remember this Asian kid I used to go to school with. He had an snes with an attachment on top that took floppy disks. He showed me some overseas games on it. I have no idea what that thing was but that’s what this reminded me of

It was probably a disk copier. Here is a video that goes over how those work. https://youtu.be/MP9YR4BXrzA?si=VTgIynQI2fjaXjxE
