Jan, To me it doesn't sound reasonable but what can I do. I tested to write 32768 bytes It takes 4.5 minutes. I tested internal EEPROM takes 3 ms per byte. I am going to try FRAM like Bob suggested. thanks -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of Jan-Erik Soderholm Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 3:48 PM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public.

The write time is 5 ms, add some time for the transfer. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
