That's Phil's project... I thought he said on here recently that he was making
good progress, too.
I was wondering about it for a while already.
Why not just take any of the old FDCs, put it with an 8051 on a board.
Make the software open source, transfer the files via V24 (or for the
weird ones, use USB). No PCI, no PC ISA, just a plain cheap board, which
is even usable with old Mac/Vaxes/whatever ...
It's been discussed before here. I wonder if the whole shebang could
be wrapped up in an FPGA.
