And what do you mean > with "vanilla"? It doesn't qualify, and it isn't intended to stay that way, but as a beginner, I found it to be the simplest way to get my hardware to be seen. I made my micro behave for the time being like a temperature sensor would do. By vanilla, I really just meant simple. When I've figured out the correct way to do it, I'll implement it. Any hints or advice in this regard would be most welcome! > I will merge the following documentation update for the scx200_acb > driver, comments welcome. Thanks. I figured the base address stuff out myself, so I think it would be a good idea if the next person doesn't have to do so too. As an aside, the old driver that I used had a method to find the base addresses out by itself. It worked for me. Do you think it makes sense to merge that functionality into the new driver? I posted an excerpt to the list in another thread earlier today. I'm happy to make the patch, but I'll need someone to test the 1200 family... Thanks for the help! Thomas
