Sounds fun.  Are you sure you're ready for a live test?

You don't need to do this.  Just don't connect up the tx_strobe -
doesn't that solve the problem?  You shouldn't necessarily have to
make a master_control_inband - just feed the rate register into the
module and generate it yourself.

I don't necessarily understand why those pins, especially the
have_space pin, are no longer relevant.  Could you explain this
please?
