Hi fam! first Post.

i have me a mint-ish, T1200 from 1987.
I got the MFM 20MG HDD to startup a few times, but, obviously, now its not. so I'm curious if there is a Cf or SF card replacement for the HDD so I can have a windows 3.0 install on this thing?

from what I can see, the interface cable isn't quite a standard IDE interface so I can't just use a simple interface as one would expect for an XT desktop computer.

thoughts?

might be the pinout for the hard drive connector.

I guess you'll need an MFM/RLL emulator or similar working hard drive.

Someone who has been messing with them more recently...

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I would imagine the Xilinx Spartan 6 is quite a chunk of the sticker.

There is another one that's a bit cheaper https://decromancer.ooo/mfm-emulator/
