.SH NAME
mca_read_pos \- read POS register from card
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
unsigned char mca_read_pos  (int \fIslot\fB, int \fIreg\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIslot\fB\fR
slot number to read from
.TP
\fB\fIreg\fB\fR
register to read from
.SH "DESCRIPTION"

Fetch a POS value directly from the hardware to obtain the
current value. This is much slower than mca_read_stored_pos and
may not be invoked from interrupt context. It handles the
deep magic required for onboard devices transparently.
