Never thought of it. Voltage-rise that is. I will have to try (check) that one too. > One last point, you mention going down to 2.4 volt, someone else > gave parameters as going down to 2.5 volt.

It's allowed to drop to 1.0 volts without it. So, I take it that I'm on the safe-side .. Thanks, Rudy Wieser > > -- > http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
