You are misrepresenting what I said by blatantly ignoring the qualifiers I presented.
The reason I started asking about

some of us don't know everything.
Oh come on... I did ask questions.
You are misrepresenting the thread sequence.
As regards the interface, your early messages consisted only of advice. You
did not ask questions until well into the thread.
You could also have tried correcting
my comments _with verifyable facts_ -- that is, stuff from the manuals,
You are ignoring the content of the messages.
I did supply you with information straight from the schematic (list of
interface signals, etc.), sufficient to come to the conclusion you later did.
In my first interaction with you years ago you arrogantly and
incorrectly dismissed a minor suggestion I made to another list member.
I made little issue of it, but in the years since I have observed
without comment the not-infrequent occasions on which you have annoyed,
condescended to, and/or driven away other list members.
I have tended to avoid interaction with you for anything other than
the most minor issues, precisely to avoid getting sucked into one of these
devolved debates.
Apparently it was the better policy.
I expect this thread is well past being an annoyance, or anything other
than spectacle, to other list members.
