Notes

The MicroFox Virtual ADAM Disk Drive (VDD), released in 2016 and distributed exclusively by A.N.N., is a native ADAMnet storage device that emulates up to 100 floppy disk images stored on a removable microSD card. Unlike the IDE card solution, the VDD connects directly to the ADAM's ADAMnet side port or daisy-chains with existing drives — no expansion slot, boot cart, or driver software required. EOS sees it as a standard disk drive (Drive 1 or Drive 2, selectable). Disk images are stored in ADAMemulator (.dsk) format, making the internet a ready source of software. Images can be added or removed from the microSD card using any PC with a card reader.

The VDD ships complete with the drive unit, microSD card pre-loaded with ADAM software, external power supply, and ADAMnet cable. It has been tested with 2GB SDHC cards with theoretical support for up to 32GB SDHC (FAT32). The production unit supports disk image sizes from 160K to 1.44MB.
