The compact flash breadboard is turned into a pc board. I added a 2.5mm power jack for 5V power. When plugged in, the daughterboard ground one of the discrete inputs on the DIN41612 connector. During CP/M initialization the BIOS checks the discrete input and automatically adds the CF drives if the daughterboard is detected. The board also bring out the 2nd serial port to a header as well as the SPI interface of 68302. This should make experimenting with SPI & serial interface easier. It is a very simple design and produced by SeeedStudio for 49 cents/pcs (in quantity of 10). Shipping from China, $20, is by far the most expensive part.
The schematic, Gerber photo plots are uploaded in the Files section. Below is the picture of CF daughterboard plugged into a MPU302.
