Good to know. I looked for something like that, but it's not
mentioned in the user-side documentation at all. I tried this and it
does work on my system, but for the record is spelled "NoINT10".

And unfortunately it's a tough nut to crack because it leaves the
system in an unusable state. Unfortunately I think it's gonna take
some serious code study by someone who's familiar with the minutia of
the LX (or does it die on a Miata too?)

Yes, I agree, since we have the nice option that makes things work
once again. And now that it's been discussed here, maybe
affected people will actually find the appropriate option via a web
search.
Thanks Jay!
