Yes it is possible. You will probably need external RAM to store a sectors worth of data before dumping it to the HDD. This could better be accomplished with an 18F452 since it has about 1.5K of RAM. Search the net for info on MP3 players. Many of the players due this sort of thing.

I recomend to you use a compact flash, you can use the 8 bit data bus.

Now i'm developing a very same project, we can share info and knowledge.

IGnacio.
