Rob, thank you so much for your help once again. I'm about to give all that a try. I'm pretty sure I'll get it to work this time, finally :)
Oh, btw, sorry, I'm actually using a 8052 (ds89c420 from maxim) so it does have a shift, rr and rl. Dont worry tho, I'm familiar with that stuff, just the variables that were killing me. Thanks again!!
