If this is infantile, excuse me, but on the PIC 14000 can I make the entire PORTD a general output. I have set the TRISD, and tried to set the options to turn off I2C and AD functions with no luck. It's as if it toggles. I turn on bit 0, then 1 and 0 goes off. Any thoughts. The 14000 is nice, but way too many options. John C. John A.
