To WHOEVER,
       
         This chip is the product of an idea I had while working
       on the 032x VC-II boards one night.  The problem with the newer boards
       seems to be the internal tier-mask in U7 and an authorization problem
       which keeps U24 from authorizing unless U7 has been properly addressed
       (as a 032x board-thus eliminating "cloning" to an older ID)
       
       I noticed that on the authorized board I had on certain channels I was
       able to get intermittant videoaaudio due to the "teaser" that certain
       channels would send.  This chip simply disables the "teaser" from
       interupting the video/audio thus giving most of the channels some of
       the time.  Working along these lines I believe that I can successfully
       create a chip that will get all the channels by "fooling" the chip to
       believe it is in the barker mode.  Also along those same lines I think
       it is possible to allow working keys to be entered and a "FAKE
       AUTHORIATION" series of commands could be sent to U7.
