Ugh... I don't dare to connect my DDS to the MESH. Before I had the '875, I did
it, but from time to time I got lost arbitrations corrupting data.

Hmmm... Perhaps I should retry on the MESH, just to see whether it's a MESH or
Sym53c875 problem.

Thanks for testing!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
