  Re: 68HC811E2

I think, the E2 has a special protection for the CONFIG reg. (...) (27 years ago, 2-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: 68HC811E2 Can't be set
 
No I can't believe that the config register is unchangeable, because I own a single 68hc811e2 that has a correct config, but 12 others that dont, also these are used in the miniboard pre handyboard? with a config set at 0d, if i remember my old (...)
