 That pin is the Rx side or data input, so obviously you won't see 
anything interesting there.  The Tx side or data output is on BSROMCLK.  
I'll send you a document page with conceptual schematics of the host side 
of the circuit; off the list as attachments are not allowed here I believe 
no matter how small.
