Perhaps it's too much caffiene, eh, Ken? Waffle *allows* a FOSSIL driver to be used, but it does NOT require it. You can use the native serial routines and get along just fine. I'm curious... FOSSIL support wasn't even added until V1.61; how did you come to believe it was required? Personally, I load my FOSSIL before use, and unload it afterward. (I use BNU) -- Roy M.
