Interesting idea, there are three broad classes of HDD interfaces:
1. Dumb, that is serial data and parallel control
2. Intelligent parallel
3. Intelligent serial
IMO if you can do dumb interraces then the others follow and given today’s
technology I suspect it is feasible
I've had a similar project in the works for a while (mainly for ESDI and
SMD).
I think the main issue you're going to face is that what you need to do
for something like ESDI or SMD (or any of the bit serial interfaces) is
going to be radically different than something like IDE or SCSI. This

Hello,
For the first phase, I would ask you to contribute with a list of interfaces
which could be interesting to emulate, specially if these are similar to one
from my list.
Just use a GIT repository for documents, schematics & layouts, or

Hello,
I'm a decent collector of big iron, aka mini computers, mainly DEC and DG.
I'm often facing common problems with storage devices, magnetic discs and tapes
are a little prone to give headaches after years, and replacement drives/media
in case of a severe failure are unobtainable.
In some
