Bruce - is this a coincidence, or WHAT?  I have been suffering for a couple of months with this exact same problem on a Compuke LTE/Elite.

I chatted with Nate a little bit on this, and he recommended that I hit you with this.

Having just loaded the 8/1 2.2 SNAP, I'll try the patches enclosed and let you know what I find.  This has been MOST irritating, but a profound lack of time has prevented me from upgrading my source / poking around.

FWIW, the boot probe doesn't find the Megahertz X-Jack at sio1 either....
