Re: A2 5.25" drive on a PC?

This is a neat idea, and I don't think the 6502 is necessary or even
desirable
for this sort of device.

More like an Apple II drive card (AKA Woz Machine) and a driver on the
host
PC to interface it to an emulator. The WM could be implemented in
software
on a microcontroller with enough RAM (say 8 or 16k) to buffer a track
of nibbles
(plus some timing info to handle nonstandard disks).

The rest would be up to the driver and emulator/ disk app.
