Interim Update

You may have wondered about the lack of progress/silence surrounding this project. Truth is, due to external pressures (aka work, family) I was unable to devote the necessary time to work on this project.
In addition, I have found that there were some technical issues with the current design that prevented the interface from working to my satisfaction. That's the bad news.

The good news is that I will resume work in the new year (Jan. 2007), using a new design, new processor and new firmware. The basic specifications will remain the same, i.e. it will still be a PET/CBM interface to an IDE hard-drive, with a bonus serial port (and maybe some other goodies).
