Well, after browsing through the H8 reference another, oh 20 (?), times; and
some messing around; it is now working.
Basically, I had declared the Control Status Register as an 8 bit value.
Since this is a special register (8 bit) that requires a 16 bit value... it
had to be declared as a 16 bit value. Odd thing is... I cast it to unsigned
int before assigning the 16 bit value, but it didn't work until I changed
the declaration from unsigned char to unsigned int.
Now, it is late, I am tired, so (to avoid rambling aimlessly) I will be
going....
... but first, if anyone is doing some major crazy low level programming and
needs to use the NMI, I would be happy to send what I have their way.

| Has anyone been able to make use of the Watch Dog Timer on the RCX? The H8 documentation seems to spell out the workings quite well.
