May I ask what type of PIC was able to write and read raw clocked bits at 2MHz
or 4MHz bit rate ? I assume that somehwhat extensive hardware was used for this.
I'd be tempted to use a DRAM for this if I'd have to. But I can see how a PIC
could use this. A larger DRAM of say 256kx1 would store 512 sectors (a 1.44 MB
floppy has 2880 of those).

thanks,
Peter P.
