UIDE Universal IDE adapter cards for Z-80 computers

4 bytes removed, 18:27, 8 March 2017
== Feature list ==
* Compact design, only 4 ICs (uIDE-16) or 3 2 ICs (uIDE-8) and a smattering of discreet components. Board measures 79x60mm (uIDE-16).
* Implemented using cheap, readily available parts (7400-series ICs only, plus some capacitors, resistors and LEDs).
* Can be connected to the PCW expansion port (see below) or internally via a Z80 shim card (note, this requires a socketed Z80).
=== 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.
=== Some tips for using the programs on the image ===
* Download the manuals from the NVEM N8VEM website!
* Be aware that these programs and applications were written for CP/M 2.2 and some of them might not work on CP/M Plus.
* Many of the games are a bit poo. Remember, it's all text based.
