Description: "New PCB To build a "Drawbridge" Adapter -- Allows use of a
regular IBM Style 3.5" disk drive to copy and write Amiga format disks"
I dig the "floppy disk" form-factor of the PCB sandwich.

I'm struggling to see what this functionality would be. The Gotek isn't
general purpose dev board. It's pretty
special purpose 34 pin header.
Maybe there are features Keir would like to add to FF with more resources
on the uC?
If the MCU is really just an ATF415, then you can forget all of the
blue-sky stuff. It's little more powerful than the original
STM32F105/107.
It was difficult for me to understand why a howitzer like the 435 would
be used in a simple floppy emulator. Apparently, contrary to what some
say, it's not the case.
