Description
The ESProfile emulates a ProFile hard drive, using an SD card to store disk images, and has near-complete compatibility with Tom Stepleton’s awesome Cameo/Aphid Selector program. It’s pretty fast too; it takes around 40 seconds to boot into LOS 3.0, which is a full 20 seconds faster than an actual ProFile, and the emulator only needs two seconds or so to initialize itself after you power it up!
- ESProFile is based around an ESP32 (as you might be able to guess from the name).
- ArduinoFile would often fail to work when connected to a Lisa 2/10, parallel card, or XLerated Lisa, but ESProFile can handle all these configurations with ease!
- With ESProFile, you can send pretty much any command in the ProFile command set (including all the 5MB diagnostic Z8 commands, 10MB diagnostic Z8 commands, and Widget-specific commands) in a nice and user-friendly way. You should be able to troubleshoot pretty much any drive-related issue with ESProFile, as well as performing tasks like backing up your drive and restoring from a backup.
- ESProFile is capable of low-level formatting both 5MB and 10MB ProFiles, as well as Widgets, if something goes wrong during your format on ESProFile, it’ll tell you exactly what went wrong.
- ESProFile is available in both an external version and an internal Widget replacement version that mounts right into the Widget drive bay!
Important Notice:
Please note that the ESProfile Internal requires a host machine with a Widget Data Connector. It can be powered either from the Widget Power cable, or a Twiggy power cable.
