EEPROM Programmer

So, I'll be needing an EEPROM programmer in order to actually provide some startup software for my Z80 computer. I intend to make one using a set of shift registers, and a couple optoisolators, so that I can use any microcontroller with 8 I/O pins (7 output, 1 input), assigned as follows:

Input:
1 = Data Read

Output:
1 = Address/Data Write
2 = Shift
3 = ~WE
4 = ~CE
5 = ~OE
6 = ERASE/VPP (EEPROM/EPROM)
7 = Read Data

The design will be as such that any microcontroller that uses either 3.3V, or 5V I/O can safely operate it. An interesting design requirement involves needing to have either 3.3/5V or 12V sent to the ~OE pin of an EEPROM, as the 5V signal is used to read from it, but the 12V is required in order to erase it. A possible solution will be to use a diode to prevent the 12V signal from feeding back to the microcontroller, and an optoisolator to gate the 12V to the same pin during an erase cycle.

To obtain the 5V and 12V power rails, I will use a simple regulated 12V wall-wart adapter, and use a 7805 (5V regulator) on the 12V line to attain a 5V rail for the main systems.

As a safegaurd agains unintentional erases, I plan to have a 'dead man' switch between the 12V rail and the optoisolator that connects to the ~OE pin, so that both the controller has to be running an erase cycle, and the operator has to press down the switch during the (short) erase cycle.

HP-125 Floppy Drive Emulation

A 'back burner' project I have in mind is to repair an old HP-125 computer I picked up at a thrift shop quite a while ago. This computer has no onboard storage drives, instead coming paired with an HP-82901M floppy drive unit , which communicates over HPIB/GPIB/IEEE-488 (whatever you want to call it). These drives are either pure unobtanium, or are downright bankrupting, so I need to find a way to emulate it. My requirements are as follows: Standalone operation, not requiring another computer to emulate Low cost parts, or using mostly parts I have on hand (Optional) Multiple uses, I don't want this to be a one-trick pony While I've learned how the GPIB protocol works, I have no idea what the command set is that either the HP-125 and/or HP-82901M speaks. I've found mention of the HP-82901M using the Amigo command set, as introduced with the HP-300 "Amigo", on this page about emulating an Amigo-compatible drive with a modern PC . That project requir

Disk Selection

So I've started work on the BIOS-ROM for the Z80-based Zephyr computer in preparation for use with BP-DOS, and I needed to decide between SCSI or IDE for a storage disk. The SCSI disk I have would be ideal on the hardware level, since both commands and data are 8-bit (with hardware generated/checked parity), plus it would make for a nice auditory experience being a full-height 5.25" disk. However, an issue arose when reading through the commands section of the SCSI standard, there are several different bus phases, and the flow path can be quite confusing at times. I'm sure given time it could be done, but I'm interested in getting the Zephyr computer running in a reasonable time frame. Instead, I have opted for using one or two IDE disks, for simplicity of the bus and command-set. Data transfers are done on 16-bit words, so a data read/write takes two input/output cycles from the CPU, and the ordering of which byte of the word will vary between reads and writes. On
