I suspect it's that you don't hold SS down long enough for the DS1306 to get
out of write mode. This could be why if works when you single step but not at
full speed. See the DS1306 datasheet to see how long it needs to be held down.

Hi,
    I'm attempting to use a real-time clock (DS1306) by interfacing it with
a HC08GP32 microcontroller using the SPI.  To get my algorithm working, I am
using some of the extra RAM located in the DS1306 to write a few registers
and then attempt to read them.  It seems that the writing part works fine;
however, when I attempt to read back what I've written, I get varying
results.  I'm using CodeWarrior software for my debugging.  When I single
step thru the program, everything works fine (both write and read).
However, when I run the program (no breakpoints, I do not read all the
registers correctly.  I do believe that the write part is working...as I can
run this part fullspeed with no problem.  However, the read part does not
work full speed.  Some of my assembly code is shown here:   Any suggestions?
