The uC will pull the line down to VDD +0.3V. Provided that doesn't result in more current than the uC can sink (check the datasheet - IIRC 20mA is the normal limit) you'll be fine. Certainly no problem with a 10k pullup. Chris -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
