Again progress, excellent!
I think we will need one further interation. If i go through your
changes and comments, i come to the opinion that we will get the same
with less changes. But if i understand this right, its astonishing that your
card worked a bit. But let me go through your last patch again tomorrow -
i am too tired now.

Best regards
