I know that you mainly used the FDC connector to SD in a project, but just wondering, did you happen to try reading an sd from the FDC on a pc motherboard? If this was possible I assume that one could use it as a boot device, perhaps for EFI, like a bootleg EFI-X without having to pay 200$ or use boot 132... or maybe just a way to read SD. anyhow, great work! everyone connects CF to IDE and such but far fewer people are doing anything with their FDC connectors This is great, I was looking all over for someone who was making use of their old FDC connector.
