Paul,
Wander over to your nearest CompUSA/MicroCenter/BestBuy/CircuitCity.  There's a
Compact Flash reader/writer sold by SanDisk (and others) that plugs into USB.
USB, as everyone should know, stands for "Universal SERIAL Bus".  I'm not saying
that I want to do it, but it should be possible to hook up one of these to your
PIC.

Paul Lamar responded:

That sounds like that might be a way to go. The PIC should be able
implement the USB standard. BTW do you have the specs for USB?

No, I don't, but I suspect they can easily be found.  The hard part might be finding
the interface standard for that reader/writer box.  Dunno.  BTW, that interface box is
about $30, so there cannot be much inside it.
