XT-IDE 8-Bit IDE Controller

Glitch Works continuing extension of the XT-IDE rev 2 ISA controller. This board, when used with a custom BIOS like the XT-IDE Universal BIOS, allows the use of modern 16-bit IDE devices on the 8-bit ISA bus.

More info on the Glitch Works project to provide boards, kits, and fully assembled units can be found here. A writeup on the rev 4 design process is available here.

If you're looking for the rev 3 branch, it can be found here. The README and related documentation have been preserved along with the design files.

Jumper Settings

modem7 created a great set of jumper diagrams for the rev 4 boards, available on his site.

Bill of Materials

You can find a BOM with Mouser part numbers here. Do note that you can purchase complete parts kits from The Glitch Works in addition to bare PC boards.

Slot 8 Support

If you want to use this card with an IBM 5160 PC/XT in Slot 8, you need a small daughterboard to make this happen. The project files for the board are available on GitHub. You can find a writeup on the design and assembly process here. If you'd like to order a board, parts kit, or assembled module, see the Glitch Works XT-IDE page for ordering information.
