Ok, an actuall question then. I have just been looking into PIC16C84's, mainly because of the DIY aspect of programming them, etc... I am new to PIC controllers, but not microcontrollers in general. The main question I would like answered is this: I shouldn't have any real trouble accessing external memory with the PIC, should I? -- .-. / \ .-. .-. / \ / \ .-. _ .-. / \ -/-Iain Whyte, B.ENG (Elec)--/---\---/-\---/---\-----/-----\- \ / \ / `-' `-' \ / \ / WWW: http://cq-pan.cqu.edu.au/~iainw1/ `-' Mail: iainw1@cq-pan.cqu.edu.au Phone: (079) 265844 Mobile: 0419 793593
