Hi Glenn,

Ok, I will use binary mode.  Thanks.

I believe mode 0 puts the registers in binary mode, so you should try to open 
it as a binary file in C/Python/whatever. To access as ASCII (which I recommend 
against personally), try setting ioreg_mode to 1.

Hi Casper,



I have been unable to access the software registers using ioreg_mode set to 
zero.  If anyone has used this, can you please offer any advice?  Am I using 
this option incorrectly?  Thanks in advance for your help.



Regards,

Melissa
