Ruud's 1541 /IDE (RE: Saving a File)

Hello Ruud,

I was reading the 1571 internals book last night and the description
identifies that the drive has a 6526 CIA for supporting the burst protocol,
but that it has both 8bit ports left undefined (not connected).

Would the 1571 be a better starting point considering the larger ROM
(standard pinouts) available and the fact that having a separate 2x 8bit I/O
chip already available it could be both a floppy /HDD in one? I'm confident
a 2.5" HDD could be made to fit.

Just some random thoughts...

Hello Ruud,

Considering people are having to open the 1541 to upgrade it, is it easy to
consider adding extra RAM to help with buffering things such as the extended
BAM. There were a few 32k expansions in the past and these are available on
the net also.
