Doh! I forgot about Odd parity and the USB tower. I will see about fixing that
little problem. Is your quad speed boot loader source significantly different
from Kekoa's fastdl.s (with the parity disabling code removed)? I'd like to see
it if it is.

I will fiddle around with my code a bit to see if I can do something similar
(without completely overhauling it).

I was running into problems with GetVersion when I lowered the first USB timeout
parameter (read first char) below 100ms. All the values on BricxCC's diagnostic
dialog were coming back fine except for the version number.

If it is relatively simple maybe you could just post it here for anyone
interested to use.
