Hello mpgmike,

you are totally right. Problem is: I already made the PCB for this double-PIC Project and it works halfways.
If I had to begib new i would take your advice and get the 18F26k22. Maybe I got some liying around.
I bought 18F45K... for a projekt Henrik supports me but this device is too big in pin-through case form. Its HUUUGE
compared to a 18F1320 in SMD which I have.
It took me days to develop the PCB and manufacture it and I think optimizing the program is way less work
than starting new.Next thing is : I try the HSEROUT/HSERIN thingy and watch if the cycle gets faster.
I donīt have as much leisure time as I would like to.
