It would be like a link system to the better part of a Palm.  You need a 
communication system from the calc to the device, then this IDE or PCMCIA 
controller, and a fast system to do indexing and maintain a file 
system.  The file system data, once developed by the fast system, would 
have to be transmitted compressed across the link port.  You might look at 
the PSX memory card interface that was developed by a guy at ticalc awhile 
back.  It was mostly complete, and one guy actually built one into his 
calc.  Supposed to be pretty sweet, its in the news archive.
