| | timer flags
|
| The timer flags are cleared by either loading the accumulator with the bits you want cleared and then storing them in the timer flag register, or by using BCLR with a complemented mask. -Dirk "I speak from experience" (28 years ago, 29-Jun-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

In any event, I would guess that 50 ft. would not be a problem; we're talking about 9600 baud here which is pretty slow. BTW, (...) (28 years ago, 4-Mar-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
