[sdiy] Many SPI slave devices on the same PIC master BUS..

[Markus]

That should only be restricted by the time for all those calls. I think having one or multiple serial registers for inputs, one+ for outputs, maybe an LCD, and SD card adapter on the same bus is pretty typical.

Any fan-out issues could be handled by buffer/drivers on MOSI and SCK, although MISO would be difficult unless the drivers were tri-stated by the same Chip Select used for each chip.

I seem to recall designing with as many as 3 SPI slave devices on a PIC, maybe even 5.

I think you'll want to 'scope all three bus signals to look at the edges, and to decide whether a boost from a driver is needed.

Which PIC part number are you using? The data sheet should have a chapter on the pin electronics specific to SPI.
