The high bits of the pid will enable this for each individual PID. In order for the Flexcop to work in the current skystar2.o, you must not set these bits.

Hi Augusto,

how come that you know so much about these devices? It's great to have a 
guru to ask!

If I understand you right, then to enable the extra filters one has to
1) select the filter via 0x310
2) set the PID in 0x314
3) make shure the bits 0x6000 are cleared

I pretend to disable a filter all one has to do is setting it's PID to 
0x1fff?

Thank you so much for your help!

Niklas
