try doing a search on some of the previous articles listed here. There have been several times that this question has come up and you can probably find a solution in the search. here is the link. http://list.picbasic.com/cgi-bin/board-search.cgi Also if you are not talking about tons of pics, you may want to look at the memory interface card that www.compsys.com has.
