Overview
Esdi fmc is an open-source printed circuit board by cwsimmons, from the cwsimmons/esdi_interface repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 69 × 76.5 mm with 25 parts on 159 nets, routed with 539 tracks and 56 vias.
It is built around the ASP-134604-01. Its parts include 9 ICs, 4 capacitors, 4 resistors, 3 connectors and 1 inductor.
Main components

readme.mdA Zynq Based ESDI Disk Interface
The immediate goal of this project is to create a solution for reading data off old ESDI hard drives. At the moment it is capable of reading disk formatted by a couple of controllers, with retry logic, to create an image. More work needs to be done to increase confidence in its results.
I have made a PCB which allows me to connect a drive to my dev kit. It is an FMC based design, so unfortunately it only connects to dev boards which are over kill for this application. Nevertheless, the design files can be found under esdi_fmc
Eventually, I'd like to create a PCB that can accompany a cheaper (hopefully significantly) dev board than the one I'm using. In the meantime, someone with prior Zynq experience should not have much trouble moving the design to a different board.
Todo:
- Read the defect table
- Add support for more formats.
- Make sector timings more dynamic/adaptive. At the very least it needs to consider the drive's data rate.
- Figure out an abstracted way to handle relocated sectors.

Questions
How big is the Esdi fmc PCB?
It measures 69 × 76.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Esdi fmc use?
25 parts, built around the ASP-134604-01. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Esdi fmc KiCad files?
From the cwsimmons/esdi_interface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is esdi_fmc/esdi_fmc/esdi_fmc.kicad_pcb and its schematic esdi_fmc/esdi_fmc/esdi_fmc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Esdi fmc design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
