Thanks. I'll go through the driver and look for the remaining differences.
Were these changes made in doc2001.c since the Millennium support was
merged into doc2000.c, or did they get lost in the merge? If the former,
do you remember the entry in the CVS log that I should be looking for?

I note you changed DoC_Command() so it no longer finishes with
DoC_WaitReady(). Is there a situation in which DoC_Command shouldn't wait
for FR_B after sending the command? Does it do any harm to do so, or is
the removal just an optimisation?
