There were a few XT IDE controllers back in the day.
The one I still have is made by Acculogic, called the
sIDE/16 or something. People who have used them claim
they work well. Either this one was blown to begin
with or the drive was at fault. It's mostly discrete
logic, the exception being a GAL or PAL as I recall.
There wasn't any firmware on it from what I remember.
What did I do with the thing?
