Oh, so use a 5V compatible pin with a pull up resistor ? I wouldn't have th= ought you would be clocking those that fast that a resistor somewhere in th= e 4k7 - 10k range wouldn't be suitable? --=20 Scanned by iCritical. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
