Modern SD cards seem (*) to be as fast as old cheap IDE interfaced hard disks. Not SATA, the old ribbon cable job. Seems to me that an "adapter" for SD to IDE with some fast MCU between would be easy and sweet. The thing in Teensy 4.1 has a meg of RAM... * I've done zero research.

@tomjennings Something like this?https://www.amigakit.com/internal-card-adapter-a1200-a600-p-12672.html

@nafmo Lol, yes! I did say I did no research! lol.I love SD cards, they're just so damn democratic.

@nina_kali_nina What's the SLOWEST they can be run? I'm thinking ancient retrofit purposes...

@tomjennings you can get a very serviceable adapter of Amazon for $10-$20. I've never done the benchmarks, but the performance seems totally fine - not optimized, some annoying corner cases, but way too got to worry about using something else in anything but my most special builds.I've put together a huge pile of balsa wood 5.25" sd2ide / gotek floppy emulator combo mounts for all my x86 systems

@wotsac I had no idea! Thanks! I suppose I should not be surprised.More often than not (literally) in the last couple decades, if I think of a "good thing" chances are someone else has before me. Thats the internet in one sentence.

@tomjennings no doubt. I'm hoping that my next computer fest exhibit will be covering a ton of technologies like this that oldsters may have missed and newbies aren't familiar with. Or maybe heard of it but haven't had a chance to ask questions.Also- While the basic, cheap ide to SD is devices are well established, the new generation of microcontroller based software defined ide is new. The ZuluIDE has been out for a little bit (I only heard about it last month) and there's a PicoIDE soon
