[DSP-10] DSP-10 Control Software

[Courtney Duncan]

I tried running out of Virtual PC on a Mac with a Keyspan USB to 
serial adapter.  Every serial application I have worked fine with 
this except the DSP-10 loader.  I think the ADI loader has some 
timing expectations hard coded in that cause it to fail consistently. 
My next step is to write my own loader under Mac Xcode, and/or try a 
DOS VPC with EZfast.

I am planning Xcode controller software.  It won't be a port of UHFA 
but it will be similar where appropriate.  I'm not to the starting 
line on this yet, however.  I'll announce anything that actually 
happens here.  Check back in about a year!
