Heh, no problem - it wasn't really meant to be testing, but I seem to end up
getting adventurous with things (same at work) and finding all sorts of
unexpected bugs and conditions...

Ah well, it was worth a shot. I had kind of assumed from the writeup that cold
booting would cause it to go back to primary and stay that way. If I had had
the forethought to copy the last saved image out to TPDD I could have just
reflashed it from scratch. :)

Oh. I was initially thinking it might be a good idea for the M100 machines, to
have them run the T102 ROM (you'd commented that there were some bugs in the
M100 ROM which the T102 fixed, although I'm not sure what those bugs are it
just sounded like a good idea). Maybe not so useful on the T200 then? Oh
well. :)
