If you were waiting and you saw in a dump that the first byte of the 
ECB was zero, that means that someone zeroed the byte when they 
shouldn't have.

If you have an ECB with the wait and post bits off and an RB address 
in it, the wait bit must have been zeroed after the WAIT was issued 
and POST must not have been issued.
