- Considerably longer than that. I was using the "B" on the A3000+, back

- In theory at least, when you turn the chip on, it's mimicing a
- WD33C93A. You have to turn on the extra features and, of course,
- support them in a driver that knows about them. There's nothing to be
- gained automatically.
