(assuming use of bit-bang SPI, and non-interrupt driven SPI peripherals). Another possibility would be to check the dsPic chips, as some of these have 2 MSSP interfaces. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
