Hi Tony, I've seen you have merged the patches that you mentioned into Greg's tree. I have now rebased my patches on top, including the separate SPI driver. Once we merge those, it should work fine, and having multiple front-end drivers gives a nice template for adding future hardware specific variations like another bus, or a newer model on the same bus. I'll post my patches after some more testing. Arnd
