Hi Peter! Your plan is fine so far. We might add some more comments to group devices obviously together, since those looking first time at it are a bit lost. For such i2c IR limits, we have your and Eddi's comments. Since we can't help it easily, Peter D. should suggest the older version of the MSI A/D for auto detection. It won't make anything more worse on that not fully clear Vivanco stuff, except Hartmut might have ideas.
