Dunno anything about them so of course I am not qualified to make any
postulations since I am sure it has been beat to death in GN circles. 
You are the second person to mention this out loud about the Buicks in
less than a month to me.  Doesn't make any sense at all.  Nobody has a
better explanation?

BTW, I have never actually run a SEFI system 'unsynched'.  Imagine the
SEFI8LO would do it...  Just relaying what he said...8 years ago no
less. <G>

Later dates.
