yes, yes, it may have been posted in 2 places.....  If you'd like to see
the revised board files I'll pass them along.  It took all of 5 minutes in
eagle to make the update and add 2 more 3 way solder jumpers (or change
them to header type jumpers for ease of end user configurability for
slightly increased parts cost....  thinking I'll go back and add both in
parallel and the header version can remain unpopulated or filled later at
user descretion.
