Hi Dan,

    An amazing coincidence. I noticed today that you have written code
for the 12C508 which you've got driving ISD's  33240 chip!   I have just
written some code for the 16C84 for that very part but I just can't get
it to work.  I have had others check my code and they can't see anything
wrong.  I would be forever in your debt if you showed me how you did the
SPI interface emulation so I can see what I'm doing wrong. I find the
manual a little vague concerning whether 16 bit commands are sent as all
one string or sent as 8 bits then SS high then the next 8.
     I am really stuck so could I impose upon you to send me a sample of
how you have handled this? Or, conversely, I could send you what I've
written and you could point out where I'm blowing it. Given that you've
already gotten yours to work, I defer to your judgement here. Either
way, it would *really* help me out.

--regards,

Bill
