Just now I said:

Now I only have:

... transaction ...
... wait for completion ...

So no queuing .. but it still doesn't return.

Now I start to doubt whether IMMEDIATE has any influence on this actually ...
it problably means don't queue... but it still depends on interrupts, right?
So I'm still hosed ;-)
