Here's my results:
5900/260 0x00080002
5000/240 0x00088002
So 0x8000 is clear on the 5900/260 and set on the 5000/240.
Unfortunately I don't have a 5000/260 or a 5900/240 to test.
Given that the 5000/260 and 5900/240 tests work, that leaves
one question before code gets added - what do you call 0x8000?
Simon.
