I think this has been discussed before and master mode doesn't work, but
sofware method (see AN567) works well.

Can anyone tell us why master mode doesn't work or was it some sort of
legel/copyright thing that prevented it being implemented.

Does the hardware work in slave mode? If so does anyone have any example
code?
