Any more facts available? Online?
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.
I guess it must have a quite decent microprocessor to emulate it. 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...)
So.. can you share more information or do you have a page online?

Hello,
Out of nostalgia and curiosity, I'd like to attempt to "image" the
drive, to see if I can get at the old Amiga files. Any idea how this
might be possible?
If you don't succeed, and can wait, we just got our boards in from
assembly. We made an (hopfully) universal MFM reader/writer/emulator.
But as usual, we are still fighting software issues. Not even an idea,
when we will be ready for user data.
Just saying, don't throw away the drive ;-)
