TPM TIS 1.2 can report either 0xff or 0x00 for sts3 since that part of register was not defined for this version but only for a later version. So, unless the TIS 1.3 for TPM 2.0 is broken, it should report a bit _pattern_ (not plain 0x00 or 0xff) that you could apply the suggested mask to and check then. Stefan
