Sorry, Larry, I didn't know about the SD224 -- if the layout is the same, I can't imagine the patterns being much different in reality. I suppose there could be some kinda crazy hoop-a-joop in the phasing harnesses, etc. etc... but that's hard for me to wrap my head around.
Sorry for the confusion on my part.
