   I also found I have a gif with schematics of 'WD1002 harddisk   
   interface', pinning fits the model I expansion port. Its base address is   
   C8, with 8 registers, no jumpers.   
      
   I don't remember where that came from but I was once collecting   
   information with the intention to make an IDE interface, never did   
   though. I really like the silence of the old machines, a spinning   
   harddisk would destroy that.
