Hello all,

I am looking for more info on implementing I2C.  I have read (well
actually only scanned) the information sheets/app notes from
Phillips and Microchip but they don't mention if this bus structure
can be used for non-I2C slave devices such as an LCD display or
switch matrix.

The I2C structure looks very nice (at least to me) but it seems that
it will only work with I2C-ready slave devices.  If I could, I would
really like to implement this structure with non-I2C devices.  Does
anyone know if this is possible and what kind of hardware decoding is
needed.  I am hoping to implement this with the PIC16F84 (the developer's
"fav chip")

Thanks in advance!

Regards from Vancouver, B.C.  CANADA (yep!....It's raining today!)
