The Tandy Portable Disk Drive is a floppy drive that connects to a Model T via the serial port.

There have been many TPDD emulators over the years starting all the way back when the TPDD itself was still current and running on platforms that are obsolete now. A full list including all the old ones would be interesting to compile in one spot just to see. This is just a few that are currently still developed, or at least usable on current systems.

Name Platform Notes
LaddieCon Windows
LaddieAlpha .NET Windows, OSX, Linux. Possibly others like FreeBSD if they have Mono or can run linux's Mono runtime.
mComm Windows, Android, Python Seperate versions for Windows, Android and Python. The Windows and Android versions include bootstrapers. The Python version can run on any platform that has Python. The python version does not include a bootstrapper.
dl2 posix Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, Windows via Cygwin or MSYS2, and probably any other unix-like os. Includes a bootstrapper. Forked from dlplus.
PDDuino Arduino Includes a bootstrapper.
Backpack Drive hardware device Includes a bootstrapper.
