poly5[] is definately correct.
I don't have all my work right in front of me, so I'll have to double
check poly68 changes later. Did the poly465[] array change between the
two versions you're looking at?

No. There is no simple multiplier that will convert between poly5[] and
poly68[]. The "divide by 6" and "divide by 2" are clocked by the 5 bit
polynomial, NOT the other way around. f(g(x)) != g(f(x)).
Mode 15 is NOT "mode 7 only slower".

Yes.

No, see above.

Possible. I'd have to go back and look at the original data again to
be sure. Maybe this weekend.
