Reverse-engineering WD1000, WD1001 hard disk controllers

[dwight]

I have a loose WD1000 someplace that I was going to use as for spare parts, for the trs80 board I'm using. If I can find it, I can dump the ROMs. Do I need to make adapters for them?

When I first got the TRS80 one, it had a bad WDxxxx chip ( forget which one) but I found one a Anchor Elect. I later bought the WD1000 board as insurance.

No idea...

Bought from a fellow collector as a a loose PCB.

It was set up for SA1000 disks, not MFM.
