ZuluIDE V2 Compact IDE HD and CD-ROM emulator

This is a hard disk and ATAPI CD-ROM emulator for desktop computers equipped with a 40-pin IDE interface. It can emulate both hard disks and CD-ROMs (optical discs). It is the successor to the original ZuluIDE RP2040 and features Raspberry Pi's RP2350B microcontroller.

It is ideal for replacing mechanical IDE hard disks and CD-ROM drives, which are prone to failure.
