It turns out that I needed to put the NEGATIVE of my buffer size in the descriptor. Thus, for a 256-byte buffer, instead of F100 I should have had FF00. The documentation I had did not use the word "negative", and that is where my confusion lay. Thanks to Andrew McRae for clearing things up for me. -- Mark Meyer USENET: {ut-sally!im4u,convex!smu,sun!texsun}!ti-csl!mmeyer Texas Instruments, Inc.
