I second that! You *really* don't want to risk overwriting a servo burst,
as there's no way for mere mortals to fix that. It's not even clear
whether *anyone* has the ability to fix that any more; even back in the day
the "solution" was generally to throw the pack away and buy a new one. So
even if the drive electronics has some protection against that, I'd
recommend ensuring that your design has protection against it as well.
