I'm not sure yet; I admit to not being even remotely a "hardware guy", which
is why I keep doing all this SW testing :-).

Another odd feature is that the ping frequency seems to change with both what
you define the sensor as well as range (when defined as an US sensor at least)
and during start-up. All I can say for sure is that there's a lot of interesting
things going on "behind the curtain" in this sensor.

Maybe (John?). But to be honest he's already done an amazing amount of work
on NBC, and only a few of us even have access to two NXT US sensors at this
point. I'm not sure anybody has tested it yet. Anybody?
