 This is great, is there any option for handshaking like choosing
 the "leading edge"? Also is the 16bits programming group is present?
 As I remember only the bits field was available.
 I am really happy that the DMA is working with you, I will try

 Also I agree that 0.7.55 is old as warning messages are often appended
 to /var/log/messages and I hope this is cured in later version .
