Good suggestion. I did a new run (vanilla 4.2), and this is what I saw on
the bus this time:

[0.00000] S W50 0x00 "product = 1-776-" P
[0.00184] S W50 NACK P
[0.00195] S W50 NACK P
[0.02027] S W50 0x10 ACK...
[0.04035] ...ACK 0x10 "3.0\n" P
[0.04100] S W50 NACK P
[0.04111] S W50 NACK P
[0.06032] S W50 "serial = 380" P
[0.06174] S W50 NACK P
[0.06185] S W50 NACK P
[0.08032] S W50 0x20 ACK...
[0.10034] ...ACK 0x20 "000002\n" P
[0.10127] S W50 NACK P
[0.10138] S W50 NACK P
[0.12039] S W50 0x27 "         " P
[0.12155] S W50 NACK P
[0.12166] S W50 NACK P
[0.14040] S W50 0x30 "                " P
[0.14219] S W50 NACK P
[0.14230] S W50 NACK P
[0.16042] S W50 0x40 "                " P
...

And this is the corresponding part of the log from the same run
(offset ~197.79 s):

Observations/questions:

- The number of NACKs seen on the bus does not match the number
  of "received nack" messages, every double NACK on the bus only
  has a single "received nack" message AFAICT.
- The bus driver seems to think that the 20ms ACKs are NACKs.
  Could it be that the eeprom is engaging in clock stretching
  or something such?
- After a 20ms ACK that the bus driver thinks is a NACK, the last
  command is reissued, but that seems to result in the tail being
  added to the ongoing command that the bus driver thinks have
  already terminated with a NACK. Or something?
- It seems to work better when I write spaces.

Cheers,
Peter
