I don't recall if ftp servers can be mapped as network drives yet.. I know explorer has nice ftp features built in now- so what about writing a much cut down ppp implementation and basic ftp server to server files from the memory? Sounds easy doesn't it :-) Your pic makes a ppp connection to your PC. It can be done! .. but don't ask me to do it :-) -- Jon Baker ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joris van den Heuvel" To: Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 6:05 PM Subject: [PIC]: PIC serial chipdrive Hi people, Does anyone have any experience in using a PIC as a serial remote connection device in Windows 9x? I have this idea of a "removable non-volatile RAM module" hooked up to a PIC and being able to access it as a network drive in Windows 9x through a COMport. I know it's possible to connect 2 PCs this way, but would an 'F877 be able to support the protocol? And of course, what protocol would this be? Even better would be someone who's done this sharing his thoughts. The reason is this: I'm trying to work within standard Windows capabilities so I don't have to write my own Windows9x software and support it. Regards, Joris. _______________________________________________________________ "Bass is the basis of all that is music" -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
