Interesting, they have already received pledges for 164K out of 35K requested - this should be a go.
I found the name interesting, with the word "pico" in the name, is it based on the Raspberry Pi Pico? It turns out, that yes; it is based on a RP2350 (the same controller used in the Pico 2.) Cool.

I figured that was the case. If I am not mistaken, this might be open source project.

Right again:
QuotePicoIDE is an open-source IDE/ATAPI drive emulator that replaces aging hard drives and CD-ROM drives in vintage computers with solid-state microSD card storage. Simply put your disc/disk images on a microSD card and swap between them as needed. Powered by open-source hardware and software, PicoIDE means you no longer have to deal with burning optical discs, worn out lasers, crashed heads, or bad sectors.

Thought so, NICE!
Yeah, it's nice when people share their design specs, and document how to build their projects.
