This is a clone of the Micro-SCI / Franklin floppy drive controller.
v0.1 is a direct clone, reverse-engineered from a Micro-SCI board. It was cross-checked with a Franklin-branded board, as well as the (belatedly discovered) official Franklin schematic (included in doc/service_and_schematics.pdf)

v0.2 has the following enhancements over the original design:
* the 2708 EPROM has been replaced with a more-common 2716/2732 EPROM
* decoupling capacitors have been added
* footprints for all capacitors and resistors have been modernized
* firmware EPROM bank selection jumpers replaced with a DIP switch
* obsolete MPS-U51 transistor replaced with modern equivalent
* clearly-maked calibration test points have been added
* ground pours used to increase operational stability
