1024-byte block, of which only the first 216 bytes get used (though I
suspect at least 392 bytes are used in a looser sense - not that that
matters with a DEV_BSIZE of 512).  At least according to
RF_COMPONENT_INFO_SIZE.

I just finished hacking one together.  It's pretty kludgy, partly
bceause I just threw it together and partly because of some RF issues
it turned up, but may be useful to someone one way or another.
ftp.rodents-montreal.org:/mouse/hacks/rfprobe.src/ for anyone
interested.
