I think your advice was the most helpful. I will see if any local library carries the firmware demystified book by Ed Sutter.

That's an OK book for people looking at high-end (16/32-bit, with flash filesystems and networking) micros. It's less good for people dealing with small single-chip systems - but Sutter's writing style is pretty clear, the code examples are OK and the CD with a load of GCC ports is useful. If you get hold of Sutter's "Micro Monitor" package (which the book describes) there is a lot of good source code to read, too. pete -- pete@fenelon.com "There's no room for enigmas in built-up areas."
