Whoops, that was silly.
Thanks for catching the error; I've fixed it in the Arduino source, it will be included in Arduino 0009.
You are welcome. I am an Arduino newbie, so could you verify for me my suspicion that the 1300 byte shrinkage was from the HWSerial not being loaded?
I assume that HWSerial is an always available structure that does not need to be invoked as I did with the SoftwareSerial,
SoftwareSerial mySerial = SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin);
which is why the printByte() didn't generate a compile error?
cheers ... BBR
