xtreme-gamer Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 i can program (a little bit). i just dont know how to make the material part or it(the drive, connections, etc.). also, no offence to my dad but, i can actually program a little more than he can(except for dos, which is probably what i need to program huh?). can someone tell me how to wire and program the hdd ???P.S. srry for the confusing post.

MP Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 This might help. HD and Flash card are pretty much the same in connection. This link has a schematic and some sample code to read the hard drive and/or flash card.http://www.mcselec.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=87&Itemid=57MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtreme-gamer Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 what was that that went over my head?! lol, i dont know that much about programing. i need something that tells me what connections i need to make and what to program in the hdd(and psp), also how to program it in(i dont know how to tell the psp what ports to read). i know im asking for alot, but i REALLY want to make this cause i cant buy a portable media center and i hate transfering to and from my psp everytime i want something different on it.

xtreme-gamer Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 actually here, this is the setup i had in mind: a ATI hdd in a external case, a connection through a memory stick duo, and a battery(preferably lithium or any long lasting battery) powering the hdd. now i have no idea how to connect any of that so i need instructions how to make that(how to wire and program). plzzzzzzzzz understand i dont have much know how on this stuff and i would really appreciate anyone giving me step by step instructions.

xtreme-gamer Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 um... sorry about this change AGAIN but, does anyone know how to take the end of a ipod<->usb cord and rewire the usb end to a memory stick duo? that would be the easiest way i think.
