Another > possibility is to add detection to sensors-detect (what I could do.) I *think* I've found a way to detect this thing. WHen the chip is freshly powered on (nothing is displayed), a byte read results in 0x80 (power failure indicator set to 1), while a subsequent byte read results in 0x00 (no power-failure since last read-out). So, if two byte reads result in 0x80, followed by 0x00, we'd probably have found a saa1064 chip. What do you think, is this secure enough or could it confuse other chips possibly using the same address? Main problem will be that this will only work one time, after powering the chip.
