    Okay, SO far Its limping along.. whats the best and quickest way to take p0-p7 on a BS2 from input to output and back again in the least amount of code?, and can we assign a label to certian pins such as

    ce = p9

    that way instead of going low p9 to change the -ce line to low, I can do low ce


    thanks..
    (yes I prolly did miss it in the manual, humor me.. save the flames for a lamer)

    To make P0 - P7 inputs: DIRL = %00000000
    To make those same pins outputs: DIRL = %11111111

    Just make sure that you don't make them outputs while your device has its bus pins in output state else you'll get a short, and could damage one or both parts. You can insert 470 resistors in the bus to prevent such accidents from doing damage.

    You may be the first -- be sure to share once you get it working!
