Post by thread:Can't get AN589?!

I've tried to get AN589 off of the MicroChip Web page and the thing tells me that it can't find the file. I also don't seem to be able to ftp directly to the site (at least not for long ... it drops the connection!). I can get the other Application notes ... can someone help me with this?! Thanks Albert

To access it you have to connect to a Compuserve node near you. Set your modem to 8N1. When the connection is made press <enter>. As the settings are not correct for Compuserve, you will get a few lines of garbage, press <+ enter> and you should get to the Host Name prompt. Type "MCHIPBBS", and you should then be in ! ( I had to try several times, so perseverence pays). The file you want is AN589.Zip. The bad news is that the file only contains the Serial Programming Routines source code, so you will have to get a copy of the article text itself from the latest Embedded Controller Handbook. Hope this is of some help, Nick

I messed up. I didn't zip the file so it was there but as a .ps file not a .zip file and the web page couldn't get it for you. I've fixed it now and you should be ok. Also, I can assure you our ftp site is first class all the way so it's probably something on the network that is the problem or something on your end with your modem, pc, or most likely uart. Our site is capable of very high speed transfers and sometimes locally overloads fifos of machines that are used to low performance web sites. /Len {Quote hidden}>I've tried to get AN589 off of the MicroChip Web page >and the thing tells me that it can't find the file.
