you can't use sniff mode to connect more than 7 devices, but that is
almost true for most chips with park mode. If they got park mode right.
See my previous posting. There is a difference between what the
specification says and what is actually implemented by the chip. The
memory is limited and storing 256 parked devices is normally out of
question for these small chips.
