16F887 Serial Setup

[Mike - K8LH]

Am I reading this Data Sheet correctly and there's no TRISC setup required to setup the serial port peripheral?

i think you read it right

Note 1: When the SPEN bit is set the RX/DT I/O pin
is automatically configured as an input,
regardless of the state of the corresponding
TRIS bit and whether or not the EUSART
receiver is enabled. The RX/DT pin data
can be read via a normal PORT read but
PORT latch data output is precluded.

Note: When the SPEN bit is set the TX/CK I/O
pin is automatically configured as an
output, regardless of the state of the
corresponding TRIS bit and whether or not
the EUSART transmitter is enabled. The
PORT latch is disconnected from the
output driver so it is not possible to use the
TX/CK pin as a general purpose output.

Thanks for posting the same sections of the manual that I read. I guess I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a typo'...
