Hi Hrvoje, Jan;

This is about what I actually originally had, it was derived from
"object", like the intbv class from MyHDL.  And so my ShadowRegister
class was modeled similar to that.  It worked grea.  Then ChipRegister
was made to be a subclass of ShadowRegister.  It needs to read HW reg
and adjust ChipRegister value, write HW reg and adjust ShadowRegister
value.  As mentioned, that's when printing in hex gave an error said
it needed an int.  My story from that point continues from my last
past.  :)
