Hi Bob,

BL> Talk, talk, talk... Dieter got a result I can see on my CRO.
BV> I thought you wanted to be able to send it out faster. Oh well,
BV> you can go and fuck yourself. What does that look like on the CRO ?
BL>  I don't know. I haven't tried to fuck myself on the CRO.

I guess the waveform would be interesting if nothing else :)

BL> Whatever I do, I'm going to need a clock at the right baud rate
BL> to read it into a register or something.
BV> If it's async then what the fuck has a clock got to do with it ?
BL> How can I clock it into a register without a clock?

Well, if you are going to run a synchronous signal then how the fuck
are you going to send the clock ? IA synchronous signal would be
in-sync with the clock 'coz that's what a synchronous signal is.
If you don't send a clock then you must be sending an a-sync signal
in which case the clock rate is going to be important. With a proper
sync signal you can drift a bit so long as the clock drifts as well.

BL> And how do you fuck a clock?

I'm not sure, but I think it involves little feathered birds.

BL> I've fucked people who didn't have the time, though.

Why do I believe that part :)

Cheers, Brenton
