Re: SwiftX MSP430 with MSP-FET430UIF USB Flash Emulation Tool

TI have been handing them out at their "MSP430 days". And I gather that
they're proving quite popular (at $20 with a F2013 device included).

Even with its shortcomings (and the limited resources of the F2013
device that comes with it) it seems like it would be a shame not to
support it.

Thanks for the info.
