+
+    PIA IDE Hard Disk Interface
+
+    Note this interface does appear to have used an 8 bit IDE data path, and
+    does appear to have discarded every second byte of storage - this does not
+    appear to be mis-implementation here. FLEX uses 256 byte sectors so half
+    of the IDE 512 byte sector give the required fit.
+
+    Some emulators appear to have stripped out that second unused byte when
+    writing their disk images. So their disk images will need to be filled
+    when importing these images for use with this device. Also some emulators
+    appear tolerant of trailing unused data and their images might need to be
+    truncated to the length defined by the disk geomentry.
+
+    The FLEX drivers for the PIA IDE appear to translate FLEX virtual track
+    and sector ID's into a target geometry. The disk geometry will likely need
+    to be defined and that can be done by using the MAME CHD disk format. The
+    range of FLEX tracks and sectors is limited to 0 to 255 so it needs to use
+    that full virtual range get the largest usable partitions. The drivers
+    support multiple partitions that appears as multiple disks to FLEX to make
+    use of more storage.
+
+    A similar (compatible) interface appears to have been used by the 'PT69'
+    SBC and drivers and disks targeting the PT69 have also run with this
+    device. The 'PT69' appears to place the PIA at 0xe010 to 0xe013 and it's
+    supporting ROM based at 0xf000, in contrast to the MAME swtpc09i machine
+    which places the PIA IDE in IO6 at 0xe060 (so that the DC5 FDC can remain
+    at IO1) and places the supporting ROM at $e800. The MAME swtpc09i machine
+    has booted some PT69 disk images with some minor software changes.
