... SYSTEMS Description The micro-DRIVE (uDRIVE-uSD-G1 compact high performance “Embedded Disk Drive” module that can be easily added to any micro-controller design that requires a DOS compatible file and data storage system. Most micro-controllers have small and limited on-chip memory. For those applications that require large volumes of data, the micro-DRIVE integrates the GOLDELOX-DOS chip onto a tiny 'drop-in- module' ...
