Summary:
- This article discusses the development of a new hardware device called "Picogus" that can emulate a CD-ROM drive on an ISA bus, which was a common computer bus used in older PCs.
- The Picogus device allows users to run software and access data from CD-ROMs on older computers that don't have a built-in CD-ROM drive, expanding the capabilities of these legacy systems.
- The article explains the technical details of how the Picogus device works, including its use of a microcontroller and custom firmware to emulate the CD-ROM interface, making it a useful tool for retro-computing enthusiasts and preservationists.
