- Perhaps this the problem I read about. Like I said, it was kind of
- vague, but I was suprised that I'd had no problems when I found the
- proto chip in my machine.

- Does this mean I need a new chip to enable sync? Does sync mode work
- properly with the non-proto chip?

- Or perhaps itemize the potential sync mode problems with the proto chip.
- In fact, I've yet to really see anything documenting why inhibit_sync is
- set and so forth...
