Ok, well maybe not then. I did look at the ppi interfaces but unfortunately they require 1 ioctl per byte read/written. That seemed like a pretty bad way to go to me, so I just did direct io. I guess I should implement ppi as a fallback at some point, but that doesn't really explain why direct IO isn't working.. Cheers, - Matthew
