The one that is mounted is in a plastic box, glued in with silicon
glue. The unmounted one was laying on my bench pointed at the
ceiling.

I assume the 'blank inhibit' pin is BINH (docs are at home, I am at
work), and that is connected to motor 3 line (U11 pin 1?). That does
go high and low along with INIT, using Kents software.
I think this is the right track though.
