I too would really like to use a Mini Hard-Drive on my Handy Board robot. (URL) and Mobile Phone use micro-controllers, don't they? Can a HC11 write/access data to/from HD sectors? If anyone out there has any idea's or info, be sure and let us know. (...) (28 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
