Re: Commodore PLC TIB DD-001 / Drive 2001

I once considered buying one to reverse engineer it, but the seller
had neither the user manual nor the bootdisk (and actually wanted to
rip me off).

I reverse engineered FinalChesscard just to figure out I was not the
first to do this (and improved clone - FCC64 - had been designed few
months before I did my work). Anyway - with the DD-001 cartridge it is
not that much work to figure out the connections, for the FC I used a
tool that helped me with generating Eagle schematic from the PCB
photos.  If someone is interested:
https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3247421.html, this the tool -
KrzysPCB, it is intended to be used with bare PCBs (with all the
components removed), but for simple devices this may not be required.
And the results of my work:
https://www.fotosik.pl/u/kb777/album/2496546 (as FCC64 has much better
docs - this is rather to show how I retraced the connections with
KrzysPCB).
