Hi Peter,

I have used SPI on PIC16C73 in slave mode to catch data sent to MAX7213 LED
display driver. As far as I remember, it worked without much troubles.
Extracted code below. The underscored bit names are #defines including the
proper register, like #define _C STATUS,0

 CBLOCK __GPRAM
        TEMPW, TEMPS, TEMPF
        FLAGS ...
        SSPADR...
        ....
 ENDC
 CBLOCK 0x60
        SSPDAT:SSPBLEN
 ENDC

#define _FSSPDT FLAGS,6

SPI inicialization:

 LDB    SSPCON,B'00110101'      ;ENABLE SPI SLAVE, RECEIVE ON RISING EDGE
 LDB    RCSTA,1<<SPEN|1<<CREN   ;ENABLE RECEIVE, ENABLE SERIAL ASYNC. COMM.

Macros:
 MOVFF S,D =  MOVF S,W; MOVWF D
 LDB F,K   =  MOVLW K; MOVWF F
