Please don't forget what Sylvian said about this driver: "I also completely 
skipped the 5200 (not B) support ..." and your own "I think it should be left 
noted here that the CCR size changed from 16 bits to 32 bits from 5200 to 
5200B in order to reduce confusion.". Its not solved yet. So any user of an 
old MPC5200 will be surprised...
