Hi, This bug/typo was pointed out to me. I looked at the 8260 & 8272 manuals and it should be 0x0002 in both cases. I don't work with the 82[67]x processors but it looks like this would have quickly bit anyone trying even parity on their serial line. Nobody uses even parity on those platforms? Is there something I don't know (and the manual isn't telling me)? Mark
