UIDE Universal IDE adapter cards for Z-80 computers

/* Feature list */
* Can be used on any other Z80 computer with a socketed processor.
* Implements a standard bus connector that exactly matches the Z80 pinout. Further expansions are planned, including a Z80 bus board, serial port, parallel port (possibly a clone of the CPS8256), mouse port, dk'tronics sound clone (PCW), etc.
 
=== Limitations ===
* The driver implements a CP/M Plus format on the IDE device, so it is not readable on a PC. '''In other words, you cannot use it as a PC-PCW transfer device'''.
* uIDE may not be compatible with certain types of IDE device (CF cards, DOMs).
* There is no driver support for IDE CD drives.
* Any IDE device connected to uIDE should support IDE-ATA 8-bit data transfer mode. If you connect a device which only supports 16-bit mode, you may find it is incompatible or has half the expected space available (this is because in ATA 16 bit transfer mode, the interface only uses 8 of the possible 16 transfer bits).
* Expect this list to be expanded as more questions are asked!
