1) Gold edge fingers increase the board cost. Would
people prefer a cheaper
board with .1 headers like my wirewrap board that will need non standard
cables or proper edge connectors for the drive emulation?
Well worth the extra expense, in my opinion,
as long as it will hold up to repeated insertion/ejections,
as already mentioned in other posts.
Would it be extremely difficult to put in a set of .100 holes
onto the board, a little bit behind the card-edge connectors,
so that folks could add their own header, if desired?
2) It might be possible to make the board emulate two
drives. The
system would have to be setup to use daisy-chained control cable since the
board will only have one control connector and two data connectors. The second
data cable would have to be .1 header. Is this enough interest to people
to be worth trying to do?
TWO drives are always better than one. ;-)
Would each drive be forced to the same geometry / drive types?
