Hello, While working on my current projects, I like to think ahaead about new technologies that I might be able to use in the (near/far) future. One of these areas is attaching disk-storage to a pic. I know there are several examples around that show how to connect (hardware and software) an IDE-disk to a pic, but I was wondering if the new serial ATA could contribute anything. The advantage (less pins/wires) looks attractive. I haven't studied the subject to any level, I am merely curious how you all feel about this. Are there eg. SPI/SerialATA chips around already?
