    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 :)

    Best regards,
