I agree that a counter is overkill.

I suggest we continue to do what we've been doing in other flash
access routines (like many of the earlier custom drivers), i. e.
print out dots, approximately one per second.

This still shows that somethingis happening on the board, but it
avoids all the overhead of printing tons of characters and control
sequences on the serial port.

Best regards,
