Though, if Wolfram is telling that is OK, I have > no objections. THe OF generic case is about discovering slaves underneath a port, not ports inside of a mulit-port master. I am not aware of a generic mechanism for the latter. We *could* make the ports sub-devices but it gets messy then to arbitrate the communication and deal with the common part. I've seen (and written) multi-port masters in the past that use a similar approach to what Eddie's doing and it works fine. > > I'm disappointed here because we have an example of somebody rather new > > producing what is overall pretty damn good code, > > That is true.
