all of my tests were done with the lines floating. I did not have my circui= t=20 connected, as I figured that it may introduce variables like that. DATH and= =20 DATL were what I was using to attempt to drive it. I will try finding an 18 pin DIP and see if that works. That should tell me= =20 what part of the circuit the problem is at. Thanks for the assistance. Anything else is appreciated, as always! --Joe Jansen On 9/8/05, Olin Lathrop wrote: >=20 > Joe Jansen wrote: > > OK, status update: > > > > Everything seems to work except PGD.
