Gordon,
The steps on how to turn the SPI into 4 digital outputs are in the
HB FAQ - off the top of my head I think it goes something like this....
poke (0x1009, 0x3c); /* set the 4 DDR bits for SPI (reg D) */
bit_set(0x1008, 0b00000100); /* set MISO output (high) */
bit_set(0x1008, 0b00001000); /* set MOSI output (high) */
bit_set(0x1008, 0b00010000); /* set SCK output (high) */
bit_set(0x1008, 0b00100000); /* set SS output (high) */
/* bit_clear will toggle the above outputs low */
