What were the bugs in the -25-PC-firmware? Was it only that the GPO-states were a bit random on power-up and there were something with big digits (which have been fixed in software)?
Since I'm going to chop up my display (or at least separate the boards), I would like to know if it is worth the hassle to wait for the code to be finished, ship the board back and wait for it to come back here before I'm able to finish my pc...
Am I understanding you correctly when you say that if any key is pressed on the keypad that GPO 6,7,8 will turn themselves on? Is this regardless of the software running? If so I may need to have mine swapped since I'm only using GPO 1-5 ATM but plan on adding lighting to 6 and 7.
