...the problem should be fixed Real Soon Now; it had to do with a
botch I made when adding support for the TC option board version
of the TCDS... I screwed up the timing and clock source for the
fast chips, like are in your machine.  Michael Hitch has tracked
down the problem and fixed it, and hopefully will commit it soon.
