I have no idea what test mode does so perhaps trying it with that off 
will help.

You have to run the init first so it routes the output to to the serial 
port rather than the indexed IO ports.  I'll go dig up the right 
commands out of my IRC logs.

Perhapas run a diff vs whats up on on the wiki?  Only the Mfg info 
should be different.  Oh wait. You have a B1. Hmm... (/me thinks back 
long ago) I don't think B1's had any Mfg data in them.  Its probably 
just 0xff's

Not really much of a concern right now for you but I'll take a note to 
figure out what its _supposed_ to be.
