I'm confused! If you disable BUSERR interrupts, you do not get the 
status bits any longer, you said. But the manual says: "Bits 4:0 in the 
ERR register can be read to determine the source of the error.", which 
excludes the above bits... but obviously the controller does it that way.

Sorry for the noise,

Wolfgang.
