Dammit Olle, NOT a good idea to put that new version up, for more reasons

Of course - U8 is the one that runs the Flash ROM protection, you'd have to
disable it in order to screw anything up.  The new revision of that thing by
Olle's friend (remaining yet nameless) tells you how to get around U8 just
using software, not just the hardware workaround. . .
