I would have waited for the re-run of hexdump to finish, but checking right after I sent the last message produced:
DING! wahoo(102): hexdump -C /dev/mem | grep "RSD PTR"
000716d0 67 72 65 70 20 22 52 53 44 20 50 54 52 22 27 00 |grep "RSD PTR"'.|

You did say that what you are looking for would be left-aligned, could it be the bit at 00369400?
