An Arduino-Based Parallel Port Hard Drive Troubleshooter

Gotta be honest... call me thin-skinned if you like, but being close relations to a few folks who work in child welfare, I'm not a big fan of the name. I'm unlikely to have much to do with it as-is.

As much as I appreciate the hardware and software engineering effort and as much as I like puns and wordplay,
Uh, really?
AlexTheCat123:
I'm sorry if I offended anybody with the name. That really wasn't my intent. I have a pretty dark sense of humor sometimes and I guess this is a situation where I should just keep it to myself. I've changed the name to ArduinoFile in the interim while I think of a better name. Once again, I really didn't mean to upset anyone with the name and I'm really sorry if I did. Now that I've given it a less offensive name, hopefully people will feel more comfortable using it.

No worries, and thanks for making the change. I'm looking forward to checking it out! (It may have to wait until after I move, though.)
Thanks also for sharing the materials.
I wonder if there's a way to keep up with that strobe pin. Maybe you could do it with AVR assembly? I don't know a lot about Arduino programming, so I'm not sure how much headroom there is for improvements over the Arduino C compiler, but maybe there could be enough?

That's a good thought! I'm not very experienced with assembly, but I will definitely check it out and see if I can optimize things that way. A faster Arduino like the Due or something like an ESP32 would be more than fast enough, but they use 3.3V logic levels and one of my major goals with this project was to avoid any sort of level shifting for simplicity's sake, so I really hope that your AVR assembly suggestion works out!
