SweArchiveCorp reads an Archive Corp tape drive over the 8-bit Sidewinder bus and writes the tape to an image file on a microSD card. The RP2350B captures blocks with PIO and DMA.
USB is a command line for select, rewind, and read, and mass storage when that is turned on. Drive number, bus termination, and the output path come from config.json on the card.
Hardware on the site is KiCad revision 1.00 (renders, not a photo of a built board yet). Repository: sweproj.com/swearchivecorp.
