To futher add to that you are just resending my patch #7,
which is just a minor bugfix, and add evem more complexity to mspro when
you add CMDEX.
Why you made it host dependant?, could I ask.

To be honest the ms subsystem is one of most obscure places I have ever
seen.
It took me much more time to write the driver that what it took me to
write xD driver.

Alex, I really really hope you will accept my work.
