Looks interessing, if there will be better drivers and accessable info
for writing or chaning the code on it, drive situation cant be much
worse than what we have with the catweasel.
As I see it, there are several issues:
- No useful documentation! Not even a description of the output file
format.
- Software is a binary blob, like everything the SPS have ever
released. They "intend" to release the sources, but I'm not holding my
breath.
- No I/O buffering. Wiring a TTL or CMOS I/O straight to a floppy
drive usually doesn't work very well. Moreso if your I/Os are 0V/3.3V
LVTTL or LVCMOS instead of 0V/5V TTL/CMOS. Voice of painful experience
here...
It's nice, and its release can only be a good thing. What I'd like to
see is the price tag...
