Better that NAND is the dirty secret we never acknowledge, if possible. | BTW, DFU may still have a future: if we get a USB-capable MPU that | doesn't already come with a USB firmware loader, DFU would be quite | handy for that. Fair enough, can conceivably be useful there. But no longer for "typical user". - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkijNU4ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqrHQCfaZdc4wDbq/OOyD1wSNTOsAyJ RCsAnjcjpR8hgqLBamM4A4cyyttu1k/U =OFRd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
