Technical Documentation

The GIDE is a generic IDE interface for Z80 based computers. It allows for connecting a maximum of two IDE devices like hard disk or CD-ROM to such computers. Optionally, it also contains a real-time-clock (RTC, Seiko-Epson 72421) which can be battery-backed. The interface board is powered by the target computer, and draws so little current that it can be expected to work with really every Z80 computer. The interface is accessed via I/O instructions, with a jumper-selectable base address.
