Hi Greg, The IT8705F doesn't support VID, so it's quite pointless to give a value to it (and an arbitrary one at that). I think that this instruction was there for compatibility reasons some times ago, but the reasons went away while the instruction was left in place. We can safely delete it now. Thanks to Rudolf Marek for testing the patch (you never know). Please apply, thanks.
