Starting again
Evening: I started to put together the ideas for the D1541. I am working at the schematics for I already
captured the requirements for the 1st stage.

Schematics
Morning: The 1541-II schematics I have (of which I also got an A3 printing!) are quite accurate and they
match the 1541-II I have here for testing purposes. It is clear to me where to hack the hardware and how to start
dumping original protected disks.
There's quite some work I need to do actually and it also involves creating some PC software for dump inspection.

No more publishing
Evening: Due to the nature of D1541 competitors, I decided to keep its development private
so that I will not be publishing any other diary entry for this project.
What I am concerned about is that this project may be seen just as a new alternative for using
cracked D64s. D1541 is primarily a dumping unit to let people make a backup of protected disks that
not even parallel nibblers can reproduce.
