Tony, thanks for the work so far. What happens if, after the firmware
is loaded you do any of the following:
1. Reset the NXT (press reset for less than 1 second)
2. Unplug the USB cable, wait 5 seconds, and plug it back in again

Here's a hint: If I rebuild the firmware tomorrow, the numbers
will be 07-01-20-0, and if I release another version tomorrow
the numbers will be 07-01-20-1 :-)

That's good - it's the correct info to this point. Device class 2 should
be a straight up serial port. CDC is communication Device Class I think.
Can anyone help? I'm going to borrow a Mac this weekend to see
what I can figure out...
Cheers, Ralph
