Default Re: Simple memory card player idea

You are right, Neon indicator, anyone wanting to get into PICs really should go for the modern ones and not the dinosaurs I use. With me it's resistance to change - that and having a tubeful of devices (all used up now). I'm constantly castigated by a colleague who says I should be using AVRs but I don't switch my affections that easily!

You mentioned determinism and that is extremely important to me. In my professional life I work with a DSP that has a cache. When we get a blip we are never sure whether its a coding error or a cached access taking a little longer than usual. Caches are anathema to me.
