Where should I discuss SD/MMC FAT issues?

You could turn all those multi-line @ NOP's into macros.
Put this near the top of your code:

ASM
nop5 macro
     NOP
     NOP
     NOP
     NOP
     NOP
    endm
ENDASM

To use it:

@ nop5

That would be 9 Tcy, right?

Shouldn't be more than the amount of NOP. When you call a macro it just paste the macro code, but use another name.

While it's not the best code efficient, You could also use some self expanding macro by adding an argument, so if you need 2,3 or 10 NOP, it will do it for you automatically. Not sure if you need it here.

something like

<font color="#000080">ASM
NOP?C   macro Cin
    local a
a=0
    while a&lt;Cin
        nop
a++=1
        endw
    endm
ENDASM
</font>

If you use @ NOP?C 1 it will paste 1 NOP and so on.

Thanks! I've written ASM programs, but never explored the macro functions. When I said 9Tcy I was looking at the added overhead of jumping in and out of the ASM sub. I was thinking that just to jump-to and return-from takes 4Tcy.

Sometime knowing a bit of ASM and MPASM directive is handy. I learned it through Darrel's codeS and postS... it's all it's fault

If you have to be corrupted by someone, Darrel seems to be a good choice!

Ya, no kidding, and of course, you're absolutely right about the 9 Tcyc.
A guy should never post 'from the hip', but I do it anyways...

If you use @ NOP?C 1 it will paste 1 NOP and so on.

And this little tidbit right here could be the solution to one of my ongoing 'issues' on another project...

Great! But you where wrong about the 9Tcy... Read previous post again... or build an ASM project then watch the Program Memory window.
