I agree 100%.

I'll take a look at the schematics tonight.  There's probably a way to
hook the xmit side of the UART to the data bus and use RS-232 control
signals (RTS, DSR) to control the reset and strobe signals (instead of
switches).  That way it's all under software control, and the software
can read the memory to verify changes.  If I figure something out I'll
post it back.
