ToFi progress report
I just thought I'd say where I was up to in regards to ToFi. The app works well on USB 2 machines but seems to fail usually on USB 1.1 transfers. Using an old hub, I could replicate the problem, but so far I have been unable to solve it. By tweaking the maximum packet size, I was able to get one firmware transfer to complete fine, but another firmware file failed. However the good news is that the failures always seem to occur in the same spots (for a given packet size and file), so I just need to work out why!

Until I sort that out, I'll release an interim version (v0.2) of ToFi soon. It has a great new icon and simplified layout (thanks to Angus Hume!) and a German localization. I'll leave the (semi-successful) tweak in too, if anyone finds it has improved things please tell me.
