A simple interface for standard PC Floppy Disk Drive and Amiga Computers

- V0.1 Initial Revision 2018 Made with Kicad 4.x - V1.0 First (BAD) PCB revision from transition from Kicad 4.x to Kicad 5.x - V2.0 PCB Revision entirely made on Kicad 5. No library from Kicad 4 anymore.

- V0.1 Initial release (2018) - V1.0 From Kicad 4 to Kicad 5 (2019). I found a bug in PCB version automatically generated by Kicad 5 from Kicad 4: All the hand soldering pads are way too large and they are overlapping each other short-circuiting every signal with a large series of resistors. Thanks to: Stefan Gammelgaard(BM) to point me out on…
