A hardware interface between a Commodore PET Computer (such as the CBM 8032) and an IDE disk drive (with a bonus serial interface). Unlike other approaches, this interface does NOT require a PC or other computer that emulates a hard disk, instead a real IDE drive is connected directly (through the interface) to the PET/CBM, and no special software needs to be loaded into the PET since the interface emulates a standard Commodore disk drive. A serial interface is also provided.
Yikes... The PCBs are buggy. Not a manufacturing fault, more driver error: One row of GPIB connector pins got mirrored, the other row is connected all wrong to the driver chips. Also, an input connected to an input, 2 data lines got flipped on the IDE data port... I hope the next batch turns out better...
