It worked from here...interesting stuff. What would be even more
interesting would be to make it appear as an ordinary block device to
ProDOS. More than likely that would involve cobbling together some sort of
firmware to make the card appear as a SmartPort device. Adding a ROM to the
hardware design ought not be too difficult...it's something to play with,
anyway. (Yes, I know that this amounts to reinventing the wheel as there
are IDE interfaces already available that do this, but what's one more among
friends--especially if the design is open-source and can be
built/used/tweaked/modified by anyone who is so inclined? :-) )
