I used an FPGA board from ztex.de for recovering data

After reading this sentence I
immediately knew who is writing...
All I had to add was the DG bus
interface with 3.3V logic on the FPGA side, which can also be connected to the
D44 with an adapter cable. A simple 2 layer PCB.
Oh yes.
I always come to a point where I
think a high performance CPU could run simh, a large FPGA could swallow all the
vintage hardware. For just solving the problem it's fine, but it somehow hurts
my eyes.
For service and repair purposes I don't see a problem plugging a high
performance computer into a vintage machine. It's just a modern tool.
