So, to catch this defect the diagnostic would have to have a test or 
tests which crossed _specifically_ the 30K boundary within a transfer.

The detailed symptom was a false overflow into the ex.mem bits on the 
30K boundary, causing a skip forward in bus addresses during the transfer.

The detailed fail on the 7430 (E34 on the M795) was that it acted as if 
input pin 11 was always H.

Now, all this said, I don't think I have ever run ZRKH!  I *did* run and 
pass the earlier ZRKA, ZRKB, and ZRKC, but somehow missed ZRKH...  I'm 
wondering now how different it is from ZRKC?  Will have to take a look...
