There was an improved circuit board for a C2N232I that features a serial 
bus connector and in-circuit programming via the RS-232 interface. I 
never got around to completing the protocol translator for the serial 
bus. And nowadays there is sd2iec, so there is little motivation to 
continue.

If I remember correctly, the ATtiny2313 is a drop-in replacement of the 
AT90S2313 when it comes to this circuit. There is a separate firmware 
that was adjusted for the software-side differences between the 
ATtiny2313 and AT90S2313.

It is not a commercial product. :)

I have been thinking of putting all my old C= stuff on GitHub so that it 
can be forked easily and pull requests be submitted. Some day I should 
really do that.
