Is anyone here qualified to design PCI cards? This

to behave as a bog-standard floppy interface. This
wouldn't be a
replacement for the Catweasel, more of a compliment,
especially for
machines that lack a floppy interface entirely or
can't handle
double-density 5.25" media.
I can source the chips. Who here knows PCI?
That sounds like an excellent idea. I, too, have often
wished for a PCI floppy controller. The Catweasel is
expensive and very hard to find, and probably overkill
for most tasks.
Similarly, I have often wished for a PCI MDA board...
