Hi Leon and all else

I have been all over that, "polling" is the word I should of used in the posting that stated this thread.

My point was having software loops that just spend all day polling the flags to see if they are set seems
to be such a waste of resources, I think the Motorola  concept seems to be such a tidy way of doing the
same job,

I was really asking is there a Atmel series where you dont need to poll?





The timer/counters can generate interrupts on overflows, you don't need to
poll a flag. It's covered in the data sheets.
