Hello all, Has anyone ever used the PIC16F877 to control a hard drive directly (ie. = without 8255)? Any comments, suggestions, problems? I am planning on making a serial (I2C, SPI, or something) to IDE = converter for a future datalogger project. I'm not concerned about = speed at all, but I would like to hear about peoples experiences with = this or similar setup. Thanks, Peace.
