FYI, I don't know what mods, if any, Funai made to the Shark design...

That's interesting -- that's what's causing the driver to not
function.  (It's a deficiency in the driver, but the fact that the
driver hits that case indicates that something weird is going on.)

It'd be interesting to get full output from:

	: showall ." **** " pwd .properties cr ;
	" /" ' showall scan-subtree

typed at the firmware.  (you'll need a serial console to get it all.)

I think i've mentioned this before here.  Go to:

However, if the hardware design truly is slightly different, then it
might not be wise to upgrade...
