Shouldn't that be:

	USHORT chip Image[2] = {0xF700,0xF700};

since you're using two initializers?  The SAS/C compiler's error message seems
a little oblique--I think it's complaining that the second initializer can't
be be assigned to anything.

The "chip" keyword itself works fine (with or without the leading double
underscores.)  I've used it with no problems.
