Ijaz,

Thanks a lot. I'll see if the 323 is available here!! In the meanwhile i have already started on a programmer for the AT89c51 which can be compared to cave man technology!! borrowed many of the ideas from the application note. am writing the code in turbo c. it will only write. have completed 40% so i guess i'll go ahead with this, for the time being!!

how do we generate delays of micro sec width in VB or C??? the delay fn in C is only for milli secs. i was thinking of using a monoshot with pulse width of 70micro sec which is greater than 1 us but less than 110us. please advice.

regards,

sushil
