Then you'll be happy to know that this is just that.
It's a CF card controller. We were thinking it should
also do hard drives, but to fit one inside would be a
bear. If we can get LBA incorporated which we will most
likely need for the CF cards, you could run a long cable
out the back and connect a hard drive to it.
IDE of course. Hopefully I will have the test software
and a working prototype and then I will begin posting
some of the info on my web site. I'll post here when
the time comes.

Thanks for your input, and if anyone else is interested
in this I could use a hands-up count on it. Prayers are
welcome, but even moreso, donations. Heh Heh!
