It would not be difficult to clone the DrivePak since it is itself a
clone of the Tandy Deluxe RS-232 pak (sans level-shifting circuit and
DB-25 connector). In fact, at least one person on this list has
already converted a Tandy pak into a DrivePak. The MicroDrive
(uDrive) module Roger used is an off-the-shelf product made by 4D
Systems.
It would make more sense IMO to get a SuperIDE from Cloud-9 since it
out-performs the DrivePak by a wide margin. As we have seen, added
versatility can be achieved with some creative contributions from the
community. Now if someone could work on that new 16K Super HDB-DOS...
