I happened to see this on one of the forums I'm a member on:
http://www.xcore.com/projects/open1541
"open1541 is a compatible replacement for a Commodore 1541 disk drive. It uses SD cards as storage media and runs on an inexpensive hardware."
It is always nice to have new hardware, isn't it?
Awesome!! That's seems a lot like the 15x1 server I started but haven't completed (true CPU, VIA, and rotation emulation)... and it is a LOT smaller. :-\ Now if it could only implement something more usefull... like a 1581, or better, a CMD-HD... Anyway, promising technology... Thanks for the link, I'll keep an eye out.
