Hi,
Interesting - thanks. I assume that implies that this is fixed
in the PA2612U device, correct?
The only difference I see in fake CIS is the addition of the line
"NULL 0ns, 512b"
which was presumably hard wired into the Windows driver.
Presumably it was initially decided that it was easier to work around
it in the Windows driver and keep quiet until those annoying people
that want to put a decent OS on their machines showed it up.
Regards,
DigbyT
