Dear Peter

in order to calculate the time delay you have to tell us what is the speed of your crystal oscillator that you use

For 8051's you should asume 12 clocks per instruction. So If you have 51 running @ 12Mhz, it gives you 1us per instruction. Just make a program that will have 1000 instructions to make 1ms delay. Use DJNZ and JMP instructions...

Just use a timer - this sort of stuff is why they're put into microcontrollers.

BTW, How many NOPs did you use? Because 1s = 1000000 NOPs ! Or have you used a cycle....? Just curious.
