Has someone got one to test? >From the pinout Frode posted a little later it looks like his data book says the same as mine;-) And Si's right, for technical accuracy Maplin are CRAP, Farnell's better and offers FREE complete data sheets for all chips they sell! Johnathan. PS I'm not wasting any more time on this thread as I think it's safe to say that Maplins were simply wrong and that is that, if you want technically acurate pin-outs and device specs the get the official manuals or data sheets :-) Oh and that disclaimer guff at the bottom is nothing to do with me, it's standard form genterated by my hosts Fidonet<>Internet gateway software and is not configurable (at least I've NEVER seen a disclaimer generated by the same software used by other hosts around the world say anything different.
