This looks interesting. As collector of DEC systems my need is slightly
different insofar as due to the rapid disappearance of ST506 (MFM) drives I
need to make say an IDE drive look like a an ST506 drive to a DEC MFM
controller.
I concur. I have a CompuPro 816 System with a Q540 MFM 40 Meg HD that is
getting shaky. Sure would like to be able to use an IDE of which I have
several that would work. Lets hope others will pick up the thread and
maybe Andrews Group will consider creating a MFM to IDE adapter Board
that would insert between the MFM Cables and the IDE Drive. I'm sure
there is a lot of Older CP/M machines out there that would benefit.
