If you are going to do anything serious with my source, the first order of business should be to clean up the handshaking status routines. I left them very generalized so I could have lots of debug info availible. The status subroutine should probably be divided into at least three more specialized subroutines. You might even want to write the bit fidling code inline rather than as a subroutine. I also used a lot of global varibles that probably ought hidden in the subroutines. I didn't get to putting in a status buffer to save status info. There are two diagnostic commands hidden down in the code to read and write the data buffer on the 4000 controller. They aren't used in the main module anymore. I used them originally to test the handshaking for the data send and receive subroutines. It would be trivial to change them to straight read and write commands. Good luck!
