Are you sure this is just an internal magic number?  The way these old
scripts engines used to work is that the CCB array forms a mailbox and
the card continually scans the mailbox to see if it has any work to do.
These magic values are often a signal to the card that the CCB array
contains a valid entry it hasn't seen and it should work on it, so the
card might be expecting to see this full 32 bit value.

James
