Since there's no 'device id' within P3 itself, Dave wouldn't have been able
to implement this.
I guess it's something I could add, though it could be a little tricky to do
it in a way that didn't involve changing the existing P3 sysex format.

Second option is the only way ATM.

Indeed. I've been beta testing it for Dave for a while. Being able to use
handshaking for the firmware update must have saved me an hour or two
already...

If we get that tutorial DVD done sometime, I'm sure a DVD-ROM software
section would include the latest version.
