The idea's the same. What I'm a bit

microcode.
That is exactly what I want. Fully transparent.
Full implementation of INT13h, 1Eh
plus the added functions of read/write a flux transition track,
and simple command line software for image/write image of entire disk.
And, it would be nice to have it packaged as internal, with 34 pin drive

Well, maybe someone will do that for you, but not me. It's probably
doable, but I'm snowed under with work right now.
I'm looking forward to tinkering with some designs using RISC-V MCUs
(that's pronouced "risk-five" if you were wondering). Completely open
architecture and, from the benchmarks I've seen, pretty darned fast.
