How does one get "cable skew" with an asynchronous data link? LOL!!!
take a look at 1mbps signal on 1 meter cable to see. waveform distortion also a problem. amazing anybody gets this to work at all.
and you are right about rc setting the flash rate and good reason not to dick with that too much if you want 20 year retention. my main point was the stk (and opti) protocol is just a pig no matter how much lipstick. its ans example of how defacto standards are not always the best.
