Known problems with the Xi3 bits

The Xi3 timing out of cells has caused problems when correct but slow cells are recieved. This is seen for example when the source is a ``Yes'' board using PIO on its transmit side. There is a version of Xi3 with timing out disabled, it is intended that one be generated where two frame pulses have to occur between incomming bytes to generate a timeout.

The currently used versions of the Xi3 bits (which all appear to operate at 18 MHz) are:
