        Okay. Noted. And printed out & posted on my corkboard here, for
future reference... :)

! Read the 221/331 as 22*10^1/33*10^1. In other words 220 ohms and 330
! ohms. A standard pair of values for a terminator circuit.

!
! No idea. Assuming the resistor network has power on the
! corner pins (1
! and 14) then it's only terminating 11 lines. There aren't
! many interfaces
! using 11 lines that need termination, are there?

        Well, anyone's guess is better than mine...
