I know you already got the hardware and want to make it work, but as a alternative to just getting the code developed how about sticking to the simulator? I don't think I've ever used a ICE or other hardware debugger o= n such a small chip. The simulator is definitely the nicest debugging environment if you can manage to simulate the inputs properly. That sometimes means writing host code to generate a .STI file, but that's usually easy to do. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
