I've had a flagstaff controller for some time, but I never could figure out how to get it to work because I was lacking a manual. I took a chance on something I saw on eBay and thought that it might be the manual I was looking for. I got lucky and not only was it the manual but it included multiple 360K floppies with drivers, applications and conversion tools. Many of these are on retroarchive.org, but they do not have a manual.
I made a pretty quick PDF of the manual and uploaded it along with images of the floppies.
It can be downloaded here for now. Hopefully I can find a better place to share going forward. https://www.buildyourbox.com/Flagstaff_Floppy_Man.zip
The controller, driver and conversion tools are pretty interesting. I like how you can load a table of drive parameters into the driver to define virtual floppy drives. You can have one floppy drive (drive D: for example) be an 8" 128 byte/sector drive and Drive E can be an 8" 1024 byte/sector even though they're both the same physical drive.
I'm going to try to get my card up and running in the next few weeks but I thought I would share the manual.
