    Oops, this was supposed to go to the "Updated ATI 8514 Ultra page"

    So, the 1Kbit EEPROM (U2) is there to store scan rates? Why EEPROM? Why
    not set this thru the driver (on boot/mode change)?

    As fancy takes me, I'll trudge thru the MACH8 install archive and try to
    pull a few more factoids out.
