A 3.5" drive with an RS232 or 422 interface would be perfect. It doesn't have to be fancy - if I could give it a track and sector number, and have it spit back the contents (and vis-versa for writing), I can take care of any rudimentry 'file system' functions we might need. Speed isn't an issue, either (we're not loading a lot of code). I've heard that Radio Shack has something like this for one of their portable computers. Does anyone know anything about this (like model number)? Is the information available to use it without an RS computer? How about any other products that you think might fit the bill? thanks!
