My intent here was for the new case to use both strings and thus still 
permit a less-specific match to the original one (hence why there's no 
change to the actual driver included here). It's a true "compatible" in 
the sense that you can run the thing with the existing driver as if it's 
a 1st-gen DSU and get the expected results - at least that's the 
conclusion I drew from a side-by-side comparison of the TRMs, and the 
folks testing FPGAs haven't complained since I told them to try it 
months ago :)

Thanks,
Robin.
