Hi, I have two separate systems sharing same I2C-bus. System one have 16C74 and some I2C IC's. System two have some I2C IC's too and it also contains I2C-bus pull-up resistors. System two starts up later than system one. Problem is that I want to use I2C-bus in system one before system two starts. It is difficult because pull-up's are located in system two and they are not working until its supply starts. I have planned to connect some RB pins parallel with SDA and SCL of 16C74 and use RB pull-up resistors as temporary I2C pull up's. After system two starts those RB pull-up's can be programable switched off. So, what do you think is that possible ? Any comments ? ---- Tero
