How authoritative is the functionality matrix?  My call to it returns 
0xcfffc006 -- no pure I2C, but it appears that I can perform I2C block

It's a [seemingly] simple TI DAC5571 (single-channel, 8-bit DAC) on an 
evaluation module.

Thanks for your (and the list's) patience while I gain some footing with 
this.
