Has anyone else officially added a fine >tuned (non-interrupt) delay routine yet? If not I'll post mine up here. About a week ago a precision "microtime" routine was posted. It works great, with microsecond resolution, and I am now using that to check timing in my TW523 X-10 driver. I highly recommend using the new microtime to do timing. - Gene Stark -- stark@cs.sunysb.edu
