Should not be very hard. I have the sources and everything, so it should be
fairly quickly done. As I recall it, the sources where quite easy to overview.
Modding it should be trivial if you are into MCS51.

Which reminds me, I have one which needs bootstrapping. I borrowed it to a
friend, so maybe he does it or I just have it comming back to me for me to play
with.

Hmm... EEPROM/FLASH would be nice, and SYS-EX up new firmware. :P
