     @Ricardus @textfiles boring real world answer: it's for controlling a CopyPro 2000 floppy disk duplicator. It replaces the stock z80 control board with one that's remote controlled over USB, so you can make the CopyPro do other things, like image floppies

     @Ricardus not at the moment. I need to update it before I sell it again, it's based around a discontinued microcontroller
