* The basic DivIDE model is the '''DivIDE 57c''', designed by Pavel "Zilog" Cimbal. This is equipped with a single IDE connector (allowing two devices - master and slave - to be connected), an 8K EEPROM and 32K RAM.

* The '''DivIDE Plus''', developed by Jarek Adamski and Jurek Dudek, increases both the ROM and RAM to 512K, and adds an onboard CompactFlash connector and a pass-through edge connector. However, it is reported to have a number of hardware bugs - in particular, it places junk values on the I/O bus, causing incompatibility with software that uses IM2 mode without a full interrupt table.

* The '''DivIDE 2k11''', produced by Lotharek, provides the same 8K ROM / 32K RAM configuration as the original model, but is re-implemented in CPLD and vertically mounted for a much smaller footprint. It has a CompactFlash slot on board, and no IDE connector.

* The '''DivMMC''', announced by Mario Prato of Apulia Group Retrocomputing in May 2013, provides two Secure Digital card slots. It differs from earlier DivIDE models in that since SD cards are not IDE devices firmware must use the SD protocol to access data - nevertheless, it is strongly inspired by the DivIDE hardware design, and runs a version of ESXDOS providing the same functionality (except where the application software relies on direct IDE access, such as audio/video players). Schematics are available on the [http://aticatac.altervista.org/portale/?q=node/12 DivMMC website].
