Nice.

If you didn't already know, you can drop in an ST-241 if the TM603S in
there is dead. If all you have is an ST-225, you can move a jumper on
one of the boards in there, to turn a D9090 into a D9060 and only use
4 heads.
There's a low-priority project afoot to completely disassemble the ROMs,
but in the meantime, some success has been made with patching the drive
tables to achieve near the 16MB limit of the filesystem. Until then,
many more modern MFM mechanisms will work with those boards at their
original 5.0MB or 7.5MB capacity.
