Quoting the project homepage:
"The XT-IDE project is a Vintage Computer forum driven project to develop and manufacturer an 8-bit ISA IDE controller. It allows any PC/XT class machine to use modern IDE hard drives or Compact Flash devices for long term storage."

Geordy: How to build an 8-bit IDE controller for a PC XT (via hackaday). He plans to run MS-DOS 6.22 + Xenix

EDIT: See also code.google: XTIDE Universal BIOS and vintage-computer.com forums: XTIDE BIOS discussion
Regarding the XT-IDE BIOS source code, please see Hargle's comments here which currently state that presently it is NOT available but Hargle hopes to release his XT-IDE BIOS source sometime in the future.
