  1. Putting this here for future reference… but earlier I mentioned that I had a couple of floppy drives laying around I wanted to make better use of.

    Here is a possible idea: this project is more a demo, but it shows an #ATMega128 #AVR #microcontroller connected to a 16-bit #ISA bus video card.

    In the junk drawer, I uncovered a 16-bit ISA floppy/IDE controller. The thinking:

    - interface the ISA drive controller to a USB 2.0-enabled microcontroller (possibly ATMega32U4 or STM32F4)
    - develop a firmware that detects the drives and exposes them as mass-storage devices over USB
    - enclose in a case with 5V/12V PSU, removable drive dock for IDE drive.
