SD Drive Mini

SD Drive for Atari 8-bit with few hardware changes: 

• no more SD CARD NOT DETECTED - AVR and SD card talk to each other with no odd resistor dividers - just direct connection with SPI communication made the proper way
• AVR runs at 3v3
• tiny AVR in QFN package, thus 14MHz at 3v3 possible and real
• 402 SMD elements used
• level shifting between SIO and AVR removed! Atari reads 3v3 at SIO port 

Buttons and LEDs  

• Pressing left button selects next drive (D1: -> D2: -> D3: -> D4:)
• Pressing right button cycles through drives in opposite direction
• 2 buttons pressed together - resets the device; loader contained in SDRIVE.ATR will load after next Atari reset
• 6 LEDs indicate as follows:
  • two red ones indicate SD card activity and error
  • another 4 LEDS indicate selected drive: D1: PINK, D2: BLUE, D3: GREEN, D4: ORANGE
