[img] BBC IDE Interface
MDFS::Info.Comp.BBC.IDE.8bit Search

The IDE interface only uses two ICs and can be built on stripboard, like the prototype, or on a PCB. To connect to any other devices a 1MHz connector with multiple plugs is needed. Anybody is welcome to use this design in their own work, with acknowledgement.

Robert Sprowson was of great assistance in getting the prototype working.
