An USB interface for Disk2?

[Mike Willegal <mike@willegal.net>]

Hi folks,

	
Now that my rev 0 project is more or less complete, I'm looking for more 
challenges.

I'm kind of annoyed with having to move files to my Apple II via the 
serial port.  Sneakernet has it's advantages.

I'm thinking that reading and writing sectors could be done with a fast 
modern micro-controller, though I expect that there might be issues with 
some copy protected software.  Power could come from a spare Apple II 
power supply and the connection to a modern PC could be through USB 
using a FTDI chip.  Seems like with a little additional effort, a real 
disk II could even be driven directly by one of those Apple II emulator 
programs.

Has anyone tried making a PC/MAC<-->USB<-->DISK II interface and is 
there anyone interested in this?

Regards,
