IDE/8255

/* Pictures */
the IDE/8255 Interface is a generic design of attaching an IDE compatible interface via the use of the 8255 PPI chip.
 
== History ==
The design of the interface also was an endeavor to resurrect my CPC as its internal disc drive died quite some time ago.
 
== Technical details ==
The interface also includes a pin header for Compact Flash Card power. The power is attached to Pin 20 which is normally missing on the standard IDE interface specification. An adaptor card attached to the IDE cable would make it possible to use the CF cards (its a shame that the specification did not use the pin in this fashion a long time ago).
== Picttures Pictures ==
There are several pictures of the interface on the CPCWiki forum.
