That's the first definitive description of these "maps" I have heard - I
don't recall seeing it in the Probst book, but maybe I was skimming.
Where can I go to dig into the details of this some more?

(I think my 90Q spends a lot of time in the wrong map... prolly time to
get a new knock sensor & clean the combustion chambers, eh?)
