There's a blow - it looked too easy ! What is it for, then -
is it the NC ROM Card interface ?
So, on to the next idea :
The FDC37C669 allows for floppy and IDE connections. Some careful
soldering would bne needed, but there;s not a lot to IDE : certainly needs
less buffering than PCMCIA. Any chance there ?
I'm also interested to know what LK5 is - looks like it might
be the production debug connector.
