As long as I'm not stepping on toes, this is pertinent to my day job;
so sure I'm volunteering. I just want to make sure that it can work,
and that I'm not going to conflict with the work of others.

The CPUCS at 0x7f92 is it for the FX. If the FX2 works differently,
then some configuration is needed. You can't autodetect based on device
id as they can (and should be) set by a 0xb4 or 0xb6 load from the
EEPROM.

However, it's pretty trivial to have a ``-t fx'' and ``-t fx2''
switch that the hotplug scripts can invoke. I'd be happy to cooperate
on this. Someone with an FX2 board can send me patches, that's fine.

I think it is better to use standard ihex and srecord files wherever
possible, as they can be generated and manipulated by commonly available
tools, free and commercial.
