Sorry guys, I'm new here! I just stumbled across this forum while looking for old PC/XT games and somehow landed on the XTIDE wiki page. I was floored!! I have a sIDE 1/16 board but it is very particular about not allowing any other hard drive controllers in the system. I was wondering, will the XTIDE project allow for a MFM controller and hard drive to be the primary drive? How do I get ahold of one of these? I don't have the means at this point to build one myself. Can I be put on a list to purchase one or three???
I'm really trying to hold back my excitement here! I've been looking for quite some time for some way to transfer data from my old Leading Edge Model D (8088 XT clone) with a MFM drive. I thought I could use sIDE 1/16 to connect a CF card to back it up, but sIDE 1/16 will not allow the MFM card to work at all. Anyway, enough of that. Gotta get this posted if I expect to get any response right? Thanks!
