A byte book, with K2FDOS. Build the serial floppy disc controller.Load the paper tape boot from your reader device. And you are off and running. A sector is 280 bytes, 256 data bytes and the remainder
meta-data.

Since the disk is uart based, upgrading a uControler running BASIC to a emulated disk would be easy.
8080 code looks easy to translate here.

For some time I was thinking about an extremely basic file system, more a cassette tape replacement for very anemic systems (think HEX-keyboard/display like the KIM or MPF-I) with a serial port added. K2FDOS (at least the software-side) looks like the next step in the direction of a real file-system. Good for inspiration!
