That all regs apparently returns the same (bogus) values cannot be safely used either, as that is typically also the case when a device is about to become ready. However there might be a way to combine the test for same values and looking for BUSY, but experience says that we then will find new bogus devices that fails that as well.. The upshot is that I try to do what is possible to avoid the 31sec delay that the spec calls for, but if you have HW that doesnt comply you can in some situations get the delay, well, tough... I just wish firmware writers would stick to the specs they are writing against, but I guess that is just asking too much these days :( -Søren Yes I know it works under windows!!Received on Mon Jan 05 2004 - 00:17:09 UTC
