FYI, it worked on the 3000.  I was trying another way that was mentioned before
and couldn't get it to work; just wanted to say thanks, and continue discussion
on hardware registers.  I recently changed a big joystick read portion of one
of my programs to directly read the hardware as described in the HW RKM.
I reduced about 3 pages of code down to about 5 lines.  :-)  I don't think that
there is anything wrong with using hardware registers as long as you are willingto suffer the possible consequences.  In some cases (such as the joystick) I
doubt that I would proceed with the methods described in the Libs/Devs RKM
again.  I found it very tiring to go through so many layers of (unneccesary)
software that inflated my program without need.  It is still possible to write
small C programs, but it is easier to maintain a scope of your program's size
when you are using an assembler (IMHO).  

Thanks for the quick info
