Re: A85: 11 one-meg expander chips left for sale!

Will the new expanders be compatible with the old, in the sense that
you could still use the same Usgard functions to send and receive?
And, as another question, why aren't expander functions built into a
separate string?  I would think that an expander1, expander2,
expander3, etc... library would mask out any incompatabilities (and
reduce the size of Usgard for anyone who doesn't own an expander)
between different expanders, if there are any.
