No idea on that.

We had similar problems as soon as the the speed pot and the WT speed is 
set to be equal. Using different speed for the pot and WT gave better 
results. This is not an EZMaster issue, because same happens with a 
standalone WinKey.

I'm still looking for a way to repeat the problem! :)
