Introduction
The TK2000 had a floppy disk adapter that came in form of a cart, connected directly to the computer, and supported only a single drive connected to it.
Luckily, the adapter was nothing more than a ripoff of the original Apple Disk II interface with some changes to adapt it to the TK2000 bus, so, starting with the recreation by btb as a base, I converted the original interface back to the TK2000, gaining support for a second floppy disk and configurable (via jumpers) I/O and ROM addresses.
Hardware
The board was designed with KiCad EDA.
