Hi,
    I've been trying to write to PD2 using the following:

    int write_port(int port, int value, int mask)
    {
    poke(port,(value & mask)|(peek(port) & ~mask));
    }

    It works fine except that the fastest cycle that I can get out of
PD2 is about 242 Hz. I need 1.6 kHz. In between PD2_on and PD2_off
I put a msleep(1L) or a sleep(0.001) and the sleep function is faster,
but still not a 1 mS or 1kHz. I've even tried sleep(0.0006) with same
result. Any recommendations? Do I have to hog the processor or what.

I think the Interactive-C overhead will prevent such fast repetition.
Simple statements take about a millisecond, with printf's taking 10
msec.  You'll probably have to do it in assembler, and use an .icb file.

Hope this helps...
