About uIDE 16
uIDE 16 is a universal Z80 IDE card that can be configured for use on the CPC range of computers.
Project status
As of now (Feb 2017) it is in the design phase, but the board has been laid out. Click the image above for a closer look.
Feature list
- Compact design, only 4 ICs and a smattering of discreet components. Board measures 79x60mm.
- Can be connected to the expansion port or internally via a Z80 shim card (note, this requires a socketed Z80).
- Driver supports CP/M Plus only at this time.
- CP/M driver runs the IDE device in LBA / 8 bit mode, so DOMs or CF cards are recommended (up to 128MB).
- Fully programmable I/O address decoding (via on-board jumpers). Initial I/O range (for the CPC driver) is FEF0-FEF7.
- Can be used on any Z80 computer with a socketed processor.
- Uses what will become a standard bus connector that matches the Z80 pinout. Further expansions are planned, including a Z80 bus board.
