I ask because I'm using the 7m for       timing when to read/write.              It is my understanding that skew means that one clock signal is delayed       in relation to another. In other words 7M and phase0 had at one time       been in sync with each other (that is, the rising edge of phase0 happens       at exactly the same time as a rising edge of 7M) but phase0 became       delayed because it went through more circuitry than 7M.              People who know more about hardware than me should jump in here if I'm       wrong.              Anyway, to answer your question, I think that both the rising and       falling edges of phase0 would be skewed.              Charlie              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
