Hello all I'm working on a PIC16F877 IDE hard drive interface and I was wondering if someone could suggest a good type of parallel RAM that I could put right on the IDE bus to hold the next 512 bytes of info that I'm reading/writing to the hard drive. I've never used parallel ram before, but I think this should work right? I have 2 or 3 spare pins on the F877 so I would be able to control the CS pin of the ram or whatever it uses. What about pulling some RAM from an oldschool video card (it's in sockets)? Any help/info/ideas would be appreciated.
