I suggested previously that a Gotek floppy emulator would probably be the easiest way to get this old Sanyo MBC-1000 booted and running again. Turns out that was even easier than I expected.
The first thing I did was reflash the Gotek with FlashFloppy to add support for more image and drive types. FlashFloppy doesn't directly support Teledisk images, but the HxC software can convert them into something both FlashFloppy and HxC can use on a Gotek. I only needed a normal 34-pin ribbon cable for the mainboard interface, and I cobbled together a USB power adapter.
And ... that was it. The computer booted right into CP/M 2.2 without any complaints.
I do still want to try developing some new hardware for this machine. Now that I have a proper operating system with BASIC and an assembler, development should go much smoother.
