Hi All,

The DXS will be fully upgradable.  We are trying to get Flash processor 
into the first run so that it can be simply upgraded over the serial port 
but even if we don't get the parts in time you will be able to change over 
to the Flash processor cheaply when it's available.  After that upgrades 
will be downloadable from our web site.
