A few years on, but yes, I just finished my KiCAD of the hard drive controller. I've got one that's supposedly broken and an MFM drive emulator to test it with. I haven't validated my controller design will work, but if I can fix this official one
then I'll have a gold standard to check against and I can validate my design.

I was wondering if anyone out there has an Advantage hard drive controller card. Or has reversed engr'd it and has a cad drawing that can be used to get a board made? I have an Advantage I'd love to put a hard drive in.
Thanks

Evan - Have you made any progress on the hard drive controller? My Advantage is working and I have a DREM HD emulator but no controller/
I validated that the controller I based the design off of works, but I have yet to build and test one of my custom boards. I can send you a blank one if you'd like or you can wait until I build one up to test. It has a couple of challenges being that
it needs at least one delay line and bipolar prom (hard to find/need modern equivalent). I can do that substitution as well, but if you want to take that on go right ahead.
