I wrote everything in PBP. Text mode is the easiest and speed should no be an issue. I would suggest a PIC with a large amount of memory, such as the 18F2620, or an external EEPROM as intermediate storage. THe Alfat is a gas hog, so if you are using batteries, you are not draining 80 mils on a constant basis. I write 3K of data to the PIC then dump it into the Alfat in short bursts.
