Hey Jonas,
I saw the other posts, but I am not real sure about what exactly
it is you are trying to do.

poke4 is a 32 bit command so you will store 4 bytes of information
at a specified location.  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 )
