   It is timing dependant, but the driver inserts more than enough delay
by using DELAY(1) for 1us. I think the requirement is much much less than
that (< .5us), so if timing really is the problem, then it leads me to wonder
if DELAY() might be somewhat broken on Alpha for small delays. A quick way
to test for that would be to change the DELAY(1)'s to DELAY(10) or more.
