That was a interesting reception of my idea, i should probably stay with that
internal memory thingie (BTW the docs are almost ready.) Anyway you guys
mentioned a couple of disadvantages which aren't really a problem (i think,
still testing and gathering info), like the interface which will be made using
a PIC (probably) and a few additional components (like a voltage regulator.)
Further you mentioned power use of the diskdrive, but when using a battery like
duracell and a modern diskdrive (which draws less current then the old ones),
you should be able to use it many times (which takes care of the portability
problem) I do have to say that i'm in the very early stages of this idea, so
don't held it against me if it doesn't work. Anyway you'll find out soon enough
when i got more info.
Hear ya,

Neil
