Progress with the v2.06 board !

Well, at last I've had some time to look at my v2.06 board issues and I've resolved them.

There are some really nice features on the v5 code, but mostly the inbuilt S/N replacing the COS. Setting the S/N at "100" in software and replacing the COS mechanism is great.

Also, the v2.06 board opens up the possibility of using Satoshi's latest v6 code which is in Beta. There are two superb features that I need in the v6 code:

1) Inbuilt bootloader - no more pulling the PIC out and re-programming - it can be re-programmed over the USB interface !

2) The ability to change the product ID - that means that I can have several boards connected to one gateway machine, in other-words a multi-port repeater (in the future...)

As soon as I get my v6 Beta PIC from Satoshi, I'm going to start playing.
