The patch is not very big, but anyway, I think my plan is to split it up 
in a series of small patches, and I send you 10 or so rme96.c, which 
you test in order, and note when it fails. It will mean some boring 
work for you, but since my hardware really seems to be broke, I think 
this is the fastest way to find the problem.

I shall also analyse the code even more closely, perhaps I can find 
something through inspection.

I'll get back to you.
