That's funny 'cause I'm looking at the orange owner's manual this
very moment and the ATXn is valid for n=[0,1].   Now! Maybe, just maybe
what Roy states is possible on the "newer" Hayes 1200's but it ain't in
my manual.   The orange manual I have comes from a real Hayes 1200 bought
back when they cost a mere $599 - yep, not too long after the buggers
came out.  Now, all this yammering is assuming we're talking about the
external variety.   This is what we're talking about, right?
