Yes since last Friday

I got it for that very reason. If time is money then yes it is worth
investing in. It clearly explains the differences in the 4 modes of
operation and provides code to implement them

Sorry I'm working on the Master and some quick calculations on a scrap of
paper showed that a PIC was not man enough for the job so I have had to
resort to a different processor :-(

There is code for Slave Mode in the book but I have not taken a look at it
so I cannot comment on its usefulness. That is for a future date, when I
have the time or need.
