Re: sd2iec ported to petSD

For me, a simple solution that plugs directly onto the PET IEEE card edge 
connector would be best. I'm not likely to have additional drives. If a solution 
can be made that's small and simple that would be great. It's too bad there is 
no power on the IEEE connector to power the unit, so we'd need to tap the 
cassette port again. I'd probably pick up a couple units if they were in the $50 
price range give or take.

Its been a long wait for a complete plug-and-play solution for PET card 
storage....
