Ian - cheers for the code snippet, should save me some time. I would assume an 
#include for tssdcore2.h is needed as well. 

Surprised no one has published this as a known good kernel patch against 
mainline, although I understand the GPL issues - that being said if I think 
about NVIDIA and other hardware device drivers in Linux I'm sure a suitable 
compromise *could* have been made!

Unfortunately I do need SD support for this project, if nothing more than to 
show some folks the PITA involved in maintaining this ugliness without 
widespread community support. 

In fact I have a real dilemma with the TS7800 - it's a damn good product but 
unfortunately it just doesn't tick all the boxes for our project. 

regards
Matt
