I did not know about this one. Anyway, my goal was to
implement it using my CS/A65 bus system, so you can plug
together boards as you want to. Also I wanted to use 
a standard PC drive and cable.

You can find it (some time soon, I have notified the 
maintained to publish the new version now) on
http://www.6502.org/users/andre

However, using a small program to M-R the drive controller 
return codes and the CIA register, and reading the ROM 
listings I found the problem: The pull-down resistor for
the drive ready was to large, so the CPU thought the 
drive was never ready (well, as the drive error message
already said ;-).

Thanks for your comments anyway.

Andre
