Maybe this has something to do with it...

3692 = void init_port_6_bit_3 (void), nobody knows what port 6 bit 3 does

I remember wondering what port 6 bit 3 did and so I think I tried setting
it on and off and not noticing anything broken either way.  Maybe I didn't
test enough though.  Somebody might want to try repeating the experiment.
Some extra evidence is that nobody has ever had to set port 6 bit 3 to
anything special to get anything to work.

I'd like to be proven wrong about this though.  I'd like somebody to tell
me for sure what port 6 bit 3 does, even if on the RCX it does nothing.
Originally it must have done something, or the code wouldn't be there!
