Hello,
I finally just got my SOIC to DIP adapter for the 10-Bit FET Bus Switch, so
I will get it together in the next day or two. I came up with this simple
ppdev driver (attached) to test LED's connected to the data lines, But if
all goes well it will be a good base for a Paraflasher->flashrom driver.
Comments, suggestions?
