The Computer Village floppy disc controller is an unusual board which plugs into the 8271 FDC socket and the 6522 socket (the 6522 is plugged into the contoller board). It uses the SMC 1797 FDC which is (I think) a double density FDC. The BBC Micro it came in had a LVL Double Density DFS installed.

I have no documentation for this FDC.
