Hey ams,
you stated in a previous post something about using C programming. are you even using Picbasic Pro for your pic project or you trying to do this in C?

what is the size of your ISD device you stated its a 1700 but no size specified. this is important as you need to know the start and end addresses of the messages you are trying to record.

If you haven't seen my post #30 i definitely recommend the Cowlacious Designs ISD board. http://www.cowlacious.com/AudioProd.htm
