It looks like that datasheet only shows this: S Addr Wr [A] Comm [A] D0 [A] D1 [A] S (read bytes...) I agree that's not like any transaction we support. OTOH, the ICH5 [1] datasheet shows this: S Addr Wr [A] D1 [A] S (read bytes...) That's exactly the transfer protocol that eeproms need, right? (That's why I mentioned to Khali by IRC last weekend that I thought it should be possible.) It would be really bizarre if these two chipsets behaved differently in this respect - I wonder if the datasheets are correct? [1] Well I just scanned all the other datasheets... only ICH5, ICH6, and 6300ESB appear to support the standard I2C block read. Sorry Khali. :) Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
