Connecting IDE disks & ISA (network) card to Dreamcast

[OzOnE]

Hi, all!

I know it's been a long while, but I thought I'd say that I finally got around to getting some DC IDE adapter PCB's made.

I just sent off for 40 PCBs to be manufactured in China, so if they work out OK, it should help us get HDD / CF cards working under Dreamshell.

I don't think I'll have much time to play with the direct FPGA GD Emu again, so while we await @cybdyn's invention, we can try getting IDE drives to work.

Mr SWAT, when the PCB's arrive (might take a while), can I send a couple to you? Do you have time to do a bit of work on Dreamshell?

I'm not sure what was stopping DMA from working before (probably KOS), but I think it will still be much faster than SD card even in PIO mode.

What do you think?

Regards,
OzOnE.
