Hi all,

I've been wading through the i4b source code lately and have got myself
the docs for the ISAC and HSCX chips from Siemens. There are a few
questions I wanted to ask:

Why do they refer to the data read and write registers as FIFOs? There
doesn't seem to be anything queue-like about them.

Why isn't there any documentation about the HSCX specifically? I
downloaded the HSCX docs from Siemens, but there they talk about
upgrading the ISAC-S TE to a larger FIFO and other stuff. Not a whisper
about how the HSCX works. The ISAC docs, however, make lots of
references to it. I know these two chips are designed for each other,
but why doesn't there seem to be any HSCX-specific docs?

How do you find out things like a Fritz! card having 0x05 in the low
order bits of <some register> (I forget) and an AVM A1 having 0x04 or
0x05 in the same place? That's card-specific, isn't it? ie. nothing to
do with ISAC/HSCX...

Why do the registers at offset 0x30 to 0x3b have different names than
those in the Siemens docs? (Just curious) Does the Fritz! driver use the
IOM functionality? (I suppose the answer to that is RTFM :-) but since
I'm writing the mail now, I might as well ask...)

Thanks very much for any replies

Gerald
