Sponsored by PCBWay.com who are celebrating their 9th bithday this month.

Exxos forum user dad664npc has designed a built an new SD-card based Atari ST hard disc emulator using a Raspberry Pi Pico. It was released open source but public development ceased in January 2021 to take it commerical.

You can by Exxos' version here for what I consider a very reasonable price (it includes accessories): https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/st...

I'd already started work on a board for this project based on the firmware as published in December 2022. My fork is here:- https://github.com/dh219/ST_HD_Emulator

In January my wife gave birth to a very healthy baby girl and I've found my development time somewhat curtailed! So here, six months later, is my attempt to bring up my board. Well, part one of it anyway.

BTW, I don't think I mentioned it. The IDC header on the board is to allow the use of an Ultrasatan-compatible ACSI to IDC cable instead of the DB25 plug.
