Mike, Just an idea about he UART. Have you considered the MAX31000 It's a small SPI based full blown UART has fifo's etc and is easy to use... I had 8 of them hanging on a single PIC and I'm sure the SX can do the SPI thing. Not sure about the PIC assembler etc. Hans W http://hans-w.com Mike Hardwick wrote: > I've got a program of substantial size (fills the flash) written in > Parallax SX-Key assembly language, running on the SX52.
