Well you could sense the state of an otherwise used pin at reset and use an external 100khom pullup or pulldown on a pin to set that state. When the relevant pin is then used normally as output the pull resistor is ignored. Die shrinks do cause trouble in many ways not just in mcus. -- Peter --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
