Ok, thanks Robert. I am really starting to warm up to universal-io. Never
had the chance, or reason to get it working before. Now . . . I'm using it
to test custom cape circuits, and all kind of things.

Plus I really do want to write that webpage GPIO / peripheral configuration
page . . . but that may still be a while yet. Still have many other
priorities . . . and much if it has nothing to do with computers.
Unfortunately.
