I works in some setups but not all, seems PM's even with the same ID =20 and revision are not created equal, so we still have the fine mess to =20= find out things as we did in the old days. I have a setup with SiI chips that works with one PM but fails on 2 =20 others, all three PM's use the same chip (ID and rev), go figure :) I'll get it fixed eventually, but spare time is sparse -S=F8ren=
