That's really bummer it took you so long. I lost a few days getting the F628
UART to work properly. The T1SYNC issue startled me for a while, but reading
back the manual on TMR1 resolved the issue within 5 minutes.

If we collected all these "little" issues and put them in an indexed
document, PICcers worldwide would save years and years (total that is)
wondering why their app doesn't work like it's supposed to. But, on 2nd
thought, it wouldn't do any good, because most people tend to think "Manual?
I don't need no stinkin' manual" and thus not read the "idiots' guide to EZ
picc'n"

Joris.
