Yes, I know. I never understood what such a  complicated  driver  for
sich  a  simple  protocol  was  good  for,  especially as we don't do
multimegabytepersecond transfers over such a bus.

Accurate? There is no requirement to be "accurate"  anywhere  in  the
I2C  protocol.  It  is  a simple, brain-dead protokol where timing is
highly uncritical. And given that we need it to read a few bytes from
EEPROM or RTC or similar I really see no  benefit  in  using  such  a
complicated driver.

How many seconds are there in a year? If I tell you there are 3.155 x
10^7, you won't even try to remember it. On the other hand, who could
forget that, to within half a percent, pi seconds is a nanocentury.
