I finally got the Toshiba TLX-1741-C3M (6939C based) display working (more
or less).  Man these things are way faster than the little 1/2/4 line
Hitachi based displays.

QUESTION:

Does anyone know how to make BASCOM51 read P2.  This SBC I'm using only
leaves P0 and P2 available.  THERE IS NO EXTERNAL MEMORY SO I AM USING THE
PORTS.  I'm using P0 to drive the CE/RD/WR/CD/FS/RV control lines.  P2 is
connected to D0-D7 of the display.  I am having no problems when writing
characters to the display.  The problem is that when I use a statement like
"Status = P2" when checking status, I only seem to receive the latch
contents (IOW whatever I wrote last).  Is there some trick in BASCOM51 to
flip the port into input mode?

I am a novice at the 8051 architecture, but I'm trying to learn.  ;-)
