    Just a little wiring problem.

    DIG0 and SEGD are connected.

    It was your very neat and organized breadboard that allowed me to find it.

    Something to be proud of.

    Darrel,

    Thank you! I do take great pride in my wiring. I hope at some point in the future to try out your Instant Interrupts routine, as I read they're all the rage. Thanks again for your help!

    A very good trait, that we may have in common.

    Oh yes, apparently "rage" is part of it. (wasn't intentional)

    However, when you do, I'll try to smooth out the bumps.

    CYA soon,
