I know that solution, but I prefer one chip to a bunch of fets plus=20 resistors. > As an aside I'm surprised at how cheap RS are for the octal 74LVC4245A bu= s > transceiver 0.49c each minimum order 5! Now it would be nice if there were a similar chip with 4 in each=20 direction, fixed direction would be OK. --=20 Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: www.voti.nl/hvu --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
