hi!
as a part of our academic project we have to make a pendrive.can anyone
help me with the components required and the cost etc.?
thank you

Atmel has code showing how to use their AT91SAM7X parts as mass storage
devices. So you could couple a SAM7X with a flash chip/flash card and
have your pen drive.

I suspect pen drives that you find in stores will use specialized
controllers though that do pretty much everything for you.

On that note, could you recommend a USB interface chip (similar to what
the MAX232 does for the serial port) that one can use with
non-USB-enabled micros?

I was looking at the PIC18F2455 and PIC18F4455, but was wondering if I
could stick with Atmel (and use something that would work with a
breadboard - restricting me to DIP for the moment).

Silicon Labs has a USB to UART Bridge chip.
