Any more facts available? Online?
Sorry, nothing online yet :(
I'm asking because I guess quite some people might
be interested in this.
I only know of solutions for replacing specific ST506 interface harddisk
(no "generic" replacement) and even those are kinda expensive.
Yes, I
know. That's what triggered our curiosity ;-)
I guess it must have a quite decent microprocessor to
emulate it.
Yes.
What
real storage will be used to save the data on? CF-card, SD-card or
something? I fear this because they are not that good when it comes to
many reads and writes (I have systems where the swap is for example on a
MFM harddisk as well...)
We hope to get away with flash. But an ide drive is an option.
However, we have caches on board.
