    From Colin Leroy-Mira@colin@colino.net to comp.sys.apple2 on Friday, December 12, 2025 12:30:37
    From Newsgroup: comp.sys.apple2

    Hi,
    Blast from the past. There's that message from Steven Hirsch 9 years
    ago about the abandoned SPVHD project from Cédric Peltier: (https://comp.sys.apple2.narkive.com/Nj1FPgoJ/open-source-floppy-emulator#post15)
    I have all the wiring, construction information and firmware. Please
    contact me privately and I'll arrange to get it to you. I'd rather not >release it publicly before confirming that Cedric has in fact
    abandoned the project.
    Steven, would you want to publish those? I have the vague project of
    making a daisy-chainable virtual HD, and this would help me get
    started. I took notes of the source code at http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Peripherals/Disk%20Drives/Peltier%20SmartPortVHD/ROM%20Images/,
    matching those with wiring info would be nice to make sure.

    Hi,

    Steven, would you want to publish those? I have the vague project of
    making a daisy-chainable virtual HD, and this would help me get
    started. I took notes of the source code at >http://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Peripherals/Disk%20Drives/Peltier%20SmartPortVHD/ROM%20Images/,
    matching those with wiring info would be nice to make sure.

    Update: Steven sent me the documentation he had, this is now publicly
    available at https://github.com/colinleroy/SPVHD/tree/main/doc
    and should soon be mirrored at https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Peripherals/Disk%20Drives/Peltier%20SmartPortVHD/

    It contains great resources for people wanting to understand the
    Smartport protocol.
