Yes, I wrote my first hand assembler code over 29 years ago for a 4004.  I
paid over $500 for the
4004 and flew to Texas to get it. It took several months of work to get the
thing to print a single
character "A" on an ancient now ASR MODEL 33 teletype machine.   I never had
a real interrupt routine until I obtained an 8080 in 1974.  I also have
Issue 1 of Byte Magazine, I go a long way back in this stuff hi.

I still would really like to get in touch with someone who has actually done
an INTERRUPTLESS
USART implementation on a 16F628.

I am also currently unable to get the 16F628 PORTA, h'05' but to come up in
OUTPUT and make it go up and down (from a timer routine).  I have been able
to ignore this for some time but I would like to see if anyone else can do
it and how it was done.

Merry Christmas to all on the List
