    Thank you. These Projovian things are a pain. Luckily all the generic 3512 boards seem to have the SOIC footprint, so it's a better...

    obsolete replied to the thread Mathey MSATA-13UMAC IDE/SATA card.
    Nice work @dosdude1! Is the serial EEPROM still required? That's a big hurdle to these being widely accessible. @NJRoadfan I have not...
