I was starting to think noone was ever going to help out. :) If you don't mind, I'll start merging your changes into the CVS tree on SourceForge. I assume this is all GPL code, since you started from my original patches... I'll wait to hear back from you before merging it in, since it's a pretty big change. > The new driver now supports full read and write access.

These were features I was trying to put off until someone else was a little more active, I have to admit. I've been working on the code in between other projects, but I'm a terrible release engineer and other stuff got more interesting. It's good to see that someone else cares about it.
