ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
As far as I understand, only in theory. The control logic is different due to the presence
of the 88 processor (and on the ISA bus) of means for outputting the high/low byte of a word,
which the Z80 does not have. At one time (but for a very short time - there was a small window between MFM and the disappearance of eight-bit cards) there were multicards for IBM PC/XT with IDE,
this is exactly it. You can ask for something like this in SU.ABANDONWARE - descriptions,
data sheets for details, etc., right down to the device itself.

Regarding the hardware side of the issue, I can’t help much. Ask Kirill Frolov about
this...
