Subj: DISKETTE CONTROLLERS

I want to experiment with diskette cache-ing strategies using the 100. A friend
may use the project for his master's thesis. I believe TPDD attaches thru the
serial port, which is too slow for our project. Does anyone know of anyone who
has designed or built hardware to attach a diskette drive to the 100 through
the system bus, parallel port, or some way other than thru the serial port?
Would developing such a prototype require days or months of engineering time?
