Arlington Lines: 7 I would like to interface a single chip MCU directly to a cheap hard drive (MFM/ST-506). This is for an inexpensive voice mail system. The data stored on the drive does not have to be 100% accurate, so I don't think I will interface using a DD controller. Does anyone have experience with this? Sure would like some ideas... Jeff Smith
