Central Point Option floppy controller - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Yes. I thought of making a replacement FD card for my Coco that could read
Apple.  Nice if I could figure Commodore etc out also. Perhaps if it worked
as a sort of bit copier like the CP Option card?? The Coco is easy because
the card is just another program pak with it's own S/W on board.

   Hell, big PICs like the 17C54 run at 33MHz, at damn near 1 avg
 ins/cycle,
 too.  I'm *sure* it could be done with a PIC.

   It'd be a neat hack, no? :-)

They'll do 20Mhz, and they
like bits.
