Or can either the write-not or read-not be used to control the direction? I'm not sure what you mean by "write-not" and "read-not". The 74LS245 has got two pins that control the flow, the DIR (pin 1) and G' (pin 19). The DIR selects if the bus A should move to B, or B to A. The G' effectively turns the whole bus ON or OFF. -- - Rikard - http://bos.hack.org/cv/ -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
