WARNING: only load firmware for your hardware version (i.e. MOD1, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4).  For example, do not load MOD4 firmware into a MOD2 hardware.  This will render your ZLog inoperable.  If you're not sure what you have, look at the different ZLog models here.

MOD4 hardware only works with MOD4 firmware.
MOD3 hardware only works with MOD3 firmware.
MOD2 hardware only works with MOD2 firmware.
MOD1 hardware only works with MOD1 firmware.
