I do not.

I don't get any error messages that I can tell, because my monitor still 
won't sync properly.  Using the fixed gendac clock, my monitor displays 
some pulsating colored dots on all VCs.  Using the prog ICS clocks, my 
monitor displays the contents of the screen 4 times, cuts off about 6 
characters from the left and has a really annoying flicker.  Just like it 
always has in the past.  I still think that I have a rare and elusive to 
documentation clock chip.

Sorry, but once again, no I am not.  Sengan, I'll try those binaries you 
were talking about.
