Hello everyone!
I am a newer in this topic and with this wonderful computer "Enterprise" I am familiar with just a couple of months. Now I will do the expansion of memory up to 1.5MB. All parts and PCB are ordered and are on the way.
My next step will be to expand the capability to EXDOS.  The project that the respected Pear has developed has caught my attention.  But it's not realistic to find 1772 chips now.  But I found 1770 and bought them.  There is only one question that worries me.  Will the 1770 work on an EXDOS v.2.0 board?  If not, then what board should I to asembl? 
Regards to all who read!

Yes, it will work. The only important difference is the step rates, with the 1770 6,12,20,30ms is possible, with 1772 6,12,2,3.
Only some drives can work with fastest 2ms (for example Teac FD55F or GF), but near all of them work with 3ms, with faster and quieter operation than the 6ms.
So the original EXDOS ROM modified for using 3ms for 1772 (variable 73 set to 3). If you only have a 1770 then you should use the rom which uses 6ms setting (variable 73 set to 0).

Ok, thanks for your reply Zozosoft.
I desided try to do this version of FDC.
It was made by Wilco2009. Its more simplest for me.

Yes, Wilco's EXDOS clone only uses discrete components. Except for the EPROM, you will not need to  program other chips.

If you need some advice on trimming the EDGE connector, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, I advice you to use a Traco or similar 7805 regulator clone to avoid the use of a big heat-sink. Take the +5V from the voltage regulator output to feed your HxC clone. Can you show it here? It can be interesting for other users.

It seems that Wilco has released all the information about his Enterprise EXDOS controller design.

Maybe it can have a place on the Enterprise Wiki.

If I not mistaken, in this archive must be desired EXDOS14UK-1770.ROM file (or better EXDOS14ISDOS10UK-1770.ROM).

But let more knowledgeable people say it.
