RE: Different flash


Hi Andew,
Sorry if this came across as being lazy, that was not the intent.
I was trying to go with the spirit of this group which I thought included
not
re-inventing the wheel for a driver that already existed and simple sharing
of knowledge.
'2)' was missing - yeah, that what I get for writing email late at night.

CDL is not my strong suit so thanks for the advise. I'll give it a go.

I'm actually considering moving the flash routines onto the processor
and away from external flash. That way the processor flash could
have the specifics of the flash stored in it and the flash structure would
still be static.

Anyway, thanks again.			...Laurie:{)
