must be present in the MIDAS Makefile so that mhttpd is linked against ../mscb/mscb.c and has direct access to all mscb ethernet submasters (USB access is currently disabled on purpose there). The presence of the flag -DHAVE_MSCB will cause the MSCB button to appear on the Status Page by default, unless the menu button has been suppressed.
