If theres a device-id, it would be good to check.
I dont know the 1st thing about the ACB (on either chip), but I will

try your code, to see if it works on either or both devices.
At this point, I dunno how Ill know about 'works'.

dunno, Ill try that too, when I can.

I suppose I should think some more about sio_lockmgr I talked about once.
