I will try to document more closely. OTOMH it was like
for reads they would come in one order first one then
another and for writes the other way around. That was
why the older quirk for U300 was working, wiring the
DATAEND high, though it was no good in modeling
what was actually happening.

Ulf, do you know the details of what is happening here?
I think you have the most up-to-date knowledge.

I've been trying to determine this a number of times,
empirically mostly, probably failing to understand the
most important variables. The current solution is as
far as I've been able to model what's actually happening.
