- The unofficial (though correct) fix to this is to change the definition
- of the "boarddata" variable. It currently reads
-
- static u_short boarddata[16];
-
- and it should read
-
- static u_char boarddata[16];
-
- (I'm doing this from memory, but the relevant piece of information is
- the change from a 16-bit unsigned short int to an 8-bit unsigned
- character.)

- I'm interested in any enhancements to the driver, also; perhaps we can
- get it included in the unofficial patches on agate?
