Are you saying that with this AVR-DOS and an ATMEL chip no other hardware is needed?

Not 100% sure what you're asking, but I think the answer is 'YES'.
All you need with this DOSOnChip module is a serial connection, whether it's sync- or async, doesn't matter. Set the options and go.
I tried one out awhile back on a '628A for grins. All I did was dump files on a 1GB SD card to an LCD sequentially. Absolutely no use for the project other than to watch characters scroll by really fast. It worked well. A bit expensive, but it takes a lot of the legwork out of a project requiring mass storage.
I was going to use it for datalogging on my OBD hookup. Decided against it and went with the larger Dataflash chips and a USB port instead (thanks alot Mr.E, a lot of sleep lost).

EDIT: Disregard - I missed the point about the AVR-DOS...never mind...I see what you were getting at...

Hello Dave

Yes, only the atmel controller, the Bascom compiler, the include files from AVRDOS and nothing more is needed

Interesting...
If Darrel does not come up with something (shimask + mr.e already posted) I guess PBP does not have anything like it.

Wonder how difficult it would be to write something like it.
