  I do think that they actually check for the clock chip because Sound and
Map work on a 512Ke that has the newer clock chip.

  Besides I have it on reliable authority that the Sound CDEV's does actually
"check" for the new clock chip and doesn't completely rely on the mach
resource.  But I could be wrong, and I welcome corrections, but I'm not 
ready to give up yet.  I think my original posting was accurrate :-).

  In system 6.0 I think you are correct, but they added some stuff to 
6.0.2 so that things work on a 512Ke, and that forced to to kinda/sorta
{read not completely} abandon the mach resource when dealing with the
absence of the clock chip.
