ok so im in the middle of interfacing a hard drive to my prop chip. i have all i\o done and the control pins.. its supprisingly easy to hook up! now soon ill have to start the programming.. woot.. anyone ever wright a program to read a fat table or a fat32 table? id appreciate some links.. ill have to post some pictures soon. a cool idea might be to have two props, prop 1 and prop 2. now prop 1 is sort of the boot loader.. itll load the programs onto prop 2 from the hard drive. this wiill allow me to have up to 60GB or more of program memmory lol. also other data can be stored on the hard drive, and fed into the other prop. it seems i only have 8 i\o ports left after all the hard drive pins have been attached. luckly on the hard drive theres like 6 grounds and a few pins i dont need, so i dont need all 40 pins attached to the prop.. only 16 data pins and 8 control pins.. its as easy as that! ill keep you guys posted.
