Take a look at my C-ish pseudocode for the Q700 or IIci driver.  I've used
both header files and Inside Mac to label the various structures and
routines involved.  I'm pretty sure I've got the right names on the right
routines :-)

Let me know if I can be of more help!

Hmmm...maybe.  Ah, I see.  According to my pseudocode version of the ASC
driver, all of 0x811-0x820 or so are set to 0.  Oh, wait, now I found it.
It was 0x814-0x82F (with some gaps) which get set to some value related to
the frequency.  0x830-0x837 just get cleared.

Later.
