One easy way to find out. ObHack: retapping the divide chain on a TRS-80 so the heartbeat interrupt came 4 times as frequently as normal, fast enough to keep up with chars from a 1200 bps modem rather than only 300 baud. Oh, and the interrupt-driven serial driver, of course. The BAD old days, but sometimes I miss being able to just open up the machine and *fix* it if I didn't like the design. Try that with an 8-layer board and surface-mount technology... -jeffB (Jeff Brandenburg, Va. Tech CS) Master of 16-pin DIPs I'll develop a .sig when I get in the habit of .posting.
