The ADBTEST kernels, by their vary nature, DO NOT use the ROMs.

The second thing you mention is exactly what the ADBTEST kernels do.

The ADBTEST kernels have their very own ADBReInit, their own ADBOp,
etc, that MIMIC the behavior of the ROM calls. And the code accesses
the hardware directly, never using the actual ROM code at all.

My best guess for the problem on the 650's is some wierd timing
problem. But I don't have a 650 to test with.

I should have a 1.2 version of the ADBTEST kernel available next
weekend that you can try.
