I went and looked at uNOTE #28, after I found it (it's not in the initial set
of uNOTEs, but in the second set - the so-called 'OEM uNOTEs"; note that the
numbers were re-used between the two sets, so there are _two different_ uNOTE
#28's).

I couldn't find anything there about the JB/JC not doing block mode? All it
says is they "can not be used in a Q-BUS system due to gate array
incompatibilities".
