This value comes in from a resistor pullup with regards to the STB0899 to avoid 
ringing on the remote I2C bus.This happens to be very much device specific, in 
fact i haven't seen no two devices having the same value. The default value 
(0x5c) is calculated with a resistance of 3kE and 47pF on Pin16 of the STB0899

Large a value will "dampen" the signal, too small a value will cause "ringing". In 
the case of the KNC1 card i was able to calculate it out since the vendor was 
helpful (Eventhough i had done this manually the hard way even before they 
could get back)

Well, the STB0899 has too many fine strings to be finely tuned for a specific device.
This is similar to other demods, but due to the larger number of registers, there are
even more of those "fine threads".
