Lpc2000

I don't know if this is useful or not, but when building our flash
cable for our device, we were advised to not hook a cable directly
from the pc to the lpc because of the higher voltage (5v). Our
designer was concerned that we'd fry the part, even though (I think)
the docs say the lpc is tolerant to 5v (at least some pins).

All the board designs we looked at with the lpc all had
the max3232 transceiver in between the cable and the lpc. Instead of
putting this in our board, we put it in a makeshift cable. It's been
working fine.

I don't know if the voltage could, should or would be a
factor in this case, but I throw it out there anyway.
