If this is the case, I do not see why you are using peek to get the information back out. Peek is an 8 bit command so, as posted, you would get back a 4 length sequence representing the 4 bytes that you wrote out earlier. Why not use peek4u or peek4s to read the data back out as these are the 32 bit routines for accessing memory? Write 90: poke4( mem, 90 ) Read 90: peek4u( mem ) Don
