From the project

A RaspberryPI HAT for Pi1551 project

A minimalistic HAT for Raspberry Pi 3A/3B/3B+ that gives you low-cost 1551 floppy emulation (and optionally TAP tape playback) for Commodore C16/C116 or Plus/4. You build only what you need: the core is a few parts; display, controls, and TAP support are optional add-ons.

Warning: For tcbm2sd ONLY. Do not connect this HAT to a real 1551 drive. The circuit is not 5V-tolerant and can damage the Raspberry Pi.
