Yep, I just learned what a 8522 device does. Very nifty[noparse]:)[/noparse]
If anyone knows of a better one, please let me know. Otherwise,
tommorw I am going to buy me one and do some experementing. <I knew
that old 500meg hard drive will be usefull some day[noparse]:)[/noparse]
Humm. Before I do I need to shop for a serial memory device. Evey
sector of a hard drive is 512 bytes, and need to store that.
Displaying it raw to the debug screen just dosn't seem right.
Any ideas on this?

At the bottom, you'll find notes on how I used two 8255's to connect
to the IDE bus, a 20x4 LCD and 8k of SRAM. Also, there's links to
all the sites & documents I used to get it working. There's also
some basic FAT16 code.
