Hi Dave,

Keep searching, the info is out there. It just isn't *exactly* in the format you're looking for it to be in. Break the problem into smaller pieces to work on.

Half of your problem is going to be talking to the part over SPI. SPI is a common interface, and many vendors, including Atmel, make parts with this interface and have apnotes for implementing this interface with an 8051. It's a pretty easy case of bit bashing.

Then once you have the interface working, the Max datasheet that Steve pointed out will tell you the rest of what you need to do.
