Thank you very much for your help, Jim!

I just thought, that MCP5 maybe had some additional switches compared
to what the manual says about MCP4.

By the way, I always wondered why I only got an MCP4 manual with my
MCP5. The additional sheet says something about ordering the MCP5
manual, but I guess it's too late now...

I guess, I'll have to run MChess with 60k hash tables in my tournament :-(

Again, thank you,

Heiko.
