On the subject of multiple FET tools. We can support multiple parallel
and USB tools rght now. Most other tools, like IAR, can only support a
single USB FET tool. I regularly use a parallel FET tools and two or
three USB ones.

Yes, that still needs to be properly addressed. The USB tools are much
faster, though.

This happens with IAR too.

the USB interface for the Spy-Bi-Wire devices. The latest version for
Linux supports all devices usable with the parallel port FET tool. The
test version for Linux supports the USB tools, so it provides
Spy-Bi-Wire support. That version is not yet very well tested.
