You might have to go to c++(ctypes function call), like I'm going to have to for a oscilloscope(using arecord probably, or other options), and use in line assembly to push straight from/to the register. I haven't had a good look at python's IO module yet though. Best Regards, David Hutto CEO: http://www.hitwebdevelopment.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
