I bought one of these years ago. Works great!
Hi Lyle,
I know about the dbit thing--and have recommended it to others
sticking 8" drives on PeeCees, but while inexpensive, the cost isn't
insignificant.
If my latest referral's experience is any indicator, these things are
not "in stock" and the person who orders one may have a long wait.
My point was that that this being a "fresh" project (i.e. designed
from scratch) a couple of extra outputs would not be
unwelcome for
the 8" crowd.
I think that the dbit adapter is a bit over-engineered, however. The
same thing could be probably be accomplished with a 6 or 8 pin PIC.
