Just tried, and I do. I forgot to mention it in my last mail, but I
sometime has to reload the modules before "sensors" finds any sensor.

Attached three runs. Seems to be some read errors :( On these three runs I got
first three bus-collisions, then one, and last two.

No such option.

Not other chips.

A Rioworks SDVIA (http://www.rioworks.com/SDVIA.htm) Not very new, I'm afraid.
And not very good.

Nah, it just worked :)

Hehe :)

I guess this is unsolvable, but I just wanted to hear what you say. Kinda weird
it works so well with MBM, but that's ok. It's just for fun I want it to work.

Thanks for your reply :)
