petSD: A cards storage for Commodore with IEEE 488 bus

petSD is the name of the new AVR-based hardware. It’s a modern mass storage solution for Commodore PET/CBM computers with IEEE 488 bus using SD cards as floppy or hard disc replacement.

If you know the SD2IEC or µIEC: the petSD is just the same but for the older parallel IEEE 488 bus instead of the newer serial IEC bus.

The petSD is still a work in progress and there still are some issues.

A petSD consists of at least:

  • ATmega 1284P.
  • Red and a green LED (may be combined in one).
  • SD slot.
  • IEEE 488 connector.
