I'm waiting for the Foundation to get a proper spec > sheet from NXP for the TDA19988... I really don't like working blind.. Wasn't aware there is an NXP chip used, but I'm not surprised about the datasheet completeness :-( A quick look into the TDA19988 datasheet seems to leave out many programming details. This already had been a problem when they were named Philips. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a separate programming PDF. -- B.Walter <bernd@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
