  Well neither my 606 or 808 will stop when in slave mode, unless the 
master clock
stops.  Don't know if it's issues with both of my devices or just how 
they work,but
they've been that way for the 13 years that I've had them :)   So that 
was my reason for doing it.  
There's a limited edition device on the market called Sync2 
(http://home.netspeed.com.au/aistorm/sync2.html)
that does just what I'm asking, but since my 808's plugged into P3, I 
was hoping that I could gain
that functionality.  Since we can already get it to start up. I think 
what I currently have to do, is yank the
din sync cable while the master clock is running.

So I don't know if it's something for him to easily provide with little 
code, but it's something that I think would be really useful.
If he want to implement it through and aux like you've indicated below, 
then go for it :) but a simple StepMode + Stop would do for me.

That's good to know since I plan on grabbing a ESX-1 for when I don't 
want to bring out the 808.

This does indeed sound cool!   I havne't tried it out.  It also might 
give me enough time to
quickly switch to Write mode on the 808 during one of the stops... :)  
I''ll give it a go
tonight...
