This looks very interesting indeed. You can get the PCB for free, but you'll need to acquire the components and program the CPLD yourself. Based on a Vintage Computer forum project from a year or so ago.

Ahh didn't realise you could get free PCBs!

I've been using the AT version of their ROM in my 386 for a while now. Standard 16 bit IDE controller but with a 20Gb LBA drive hanging off it (although DOS can only read 8 ).

I try to keep my 8 bit machines MFM based, but I should really get a couple of XTIDE cards for when that's not an option any more.
