Good question. This is a 12 year old source code and I can't really test it
at the moment, but I don't think it should crash.

I think they are required. There were some problems when we didn't use it,
but I can't remeber what it was and have to dig my old mail archive to see
if I can find something in it again or in the databook for the chip.

Hmm, can't find the reason in my archive at the moment.
