My last project used both a PIC16C76 and an SX28, exploiting each for its maximum benefit. I used a little multidrop RS-232 bus, so both can talk to a host PC on the same line. [If only the dang SX had more RAM]. BTW, in your case, did you possibly try running the SX as a non-VP, using the hardware interrupts? best regards, - Dan Michaels Oricom Technologies http://www.sni.net/~oricom ==========================
