George,

	I also agree with Sriram.  This table pertains to ST timings.  The SE
timings apply until the Fast-20 part of the table and figure.  If you
remove the Fast-40, then there is nowhere in SPI that the timing for LVD
ST Fast-40 are described.

thanks

	I wish to stand up (and be stoned if I happen to be wrong! :).
	
	Doesn't the information in table 31 and figure 49 pertain to ST 
transfers rather than JUST SE?  So when u do Fast-40 transfers w/ LVD
devices u 
would use those values, would u not?  Am I right or do I deserve to be
stoned?!?
