I have the hardware working. You have to make your own cable. Right now I am debugging the code. I'm getting some interesting not-quite-spec requests from TS-DOS. But things look promising.
Right now, hardware costs are: Arduino Mega - $46 MicroSD shield - $15 RS-232 shifter - $14 (You can get everything at sparkfun.com) I had the wires, serial cable and LED (drive in use light) laying around, so there was no cost for me for those parts. It will require some simple soldering - beginner level stuff. You need to solder the headers on to the MicroSD shield and RS-232 shifter. And you'll need to take apart and adjust the serial cable (I just cut mine in half and changed the wires there). The code will be open source. I have it in github right now: https://github.com/rlauzon/arduino-tpdd along with the documentation that I've created so far.
