It's 0x55. I'll track down how this happens, there are not that many places
where DACR is touched, and I'm in a very controlled environement, so I can
cunningly place JTAG breakpoints and watch DACR.

I'll report once I have a better idea what is happening, that might take me a
couple of days given that most of my workforce is available on weekends only.

Thanks again for the free lesson.
