Hey, cool!  I played with this a while back, didn't get very far,
but never thought to look for problems with the userspace.

I can recover cards and will gladly help test this.

The truly daring might want to upload a new CIS, or a new PDA,
as well.  If prism2_srec can handle multiple srec files, and a
simple app to generate srecs from PDA sourcefiles, I think this
should be possible too.  Or do you need to use genesis mode for
that?
