Whatever, my proposal doesn't make sense. Reading a word register in byte mode will always return the first byte that would have been returned if read in word mode, wether it is the low or high one. We don't know if the first byte is high or low unless we know what chip we are talking to - while this is precisely what we are trying to detect. Let's forget about all this, sorry for the noise. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
