The current plan is to make the audio interface look like a PATA disk
excuse me, but are you crazy? does latency actually matter? :)
which just happens to have say 4 sectors each of an
appropriate number
of samples, the logic to support this should fit in a couple of GALs or
similar, and the bandwidth (and DMA) is there, getting the IDE stack out
of the way might be a good trick however.
i think you just want something (chipset) that can function as a
busmaster. then that can move data to/from host RAM. the host picks it
up/delivers on the interrupt. forget IDE, PATA etc. etc.
