Pretty sure the register was a status register that had bits set for pending writes, and when the transfer was complete all the bits would be zero (at which point it should stop polling the register and bail out). I would have to test it to be sure, but I'm 80% confident that in normal operation that loop only does a few iterations. Devin -- Devin J. Heitmueller - Kernel Labs http://www.kernellabs.com
