You can come up with a variety of handshaking schemes. However, I would read the parallel port section of the PIC manual and design the scheme to make maximum use of the existing hardware. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
