I'll keep you on file.  8)  If you have any C hacking experience, I 
*really* need to know why the 'too many segs' error is being thrown.  All 
the indications I've received so far are that the region in question 
shouldn't have "too many" segments, so I'm a bit confused.

I don't, actually.  I think they're 256kbit parts, but I don't have one 
handy to check.  Programming them will be a bit of a challenge unless you 
have a 3.x controller's parts to copy, since the image file is not just a 
1:1 image of the flash area.

Mike
