Hi Bevan. Now you see my dilema ! The info below, THAT'S all the info I have to work from ! You have confirmed tho, I am NOT going made and it is wrong. The document is also wrong in a couple of other spots too, so I am not surprised.

However, a bit in that particular position would have a nibble value of 8 for those first four bits. So, perhaps it's simply saying that if you do a bitwise "and" with hex 80 you will get bit 7. Continuing this, you can get bit 6 by doing a bitwise "and" with 40, and so on through 20, 10, 08, 04, 02, and 01. Perhaps it would make more sense if we knew what it was talking about?
