Okay, don't know what the trouble is with that distortion (if you haven't 
set the volumes to 100, that is) but not too important right now.

I might want you to test some mode-resetting code later; will be sure to ask 
if needed.

Now try it with "gcc -static -W -Wall -o eeprom eeprom.c". I compiled the 
binary I provided with that "-static" flag which means the program includes 
all library code directly inside the binary and doesn't link to the library 
code you already have on your system.

I did this to avoid any version problems that may exist between different 
distributions. Essentially you're only guaranteed that a dynamic executable 
will work on the system on which it was compiled (rather, on a system with 
the same versions of the libraries installed as on the system on which it 
was compiled). In this case the program only links to the system C library 
and did nothing weird so it wasn't much of an issue, but I don't even want 
to deal with any _possible_ problems of that nature...

Yes, with a normal (ie, dynamic) link that 9k is correct.

Rene.
