I just read this from the CFFA website, which I'll shamelessly copy
and paste text from:

If you have a CFFA 2.0 card from run 4 or run 5, you will be able to
upgrade to firmware 2.0.
Version 2.0 firmware new features list: (Firmware is still under
development! This list may change)
- About 25% faster read/write performance. This is basically the
improvements Dave Schmenk found.
- User configurable number of volumes supported. From 1 to 13 volumes
can be selected.
- Master/Slave support. Now two drives can be used simultaneously.
This feature is not really designed to provide more storage, but
mainly to allow copying files from one device to another with a single
CFFA card.
- Boot from any volume, via boot time keypress or permanent user
configuration option.
- User configuration menu, built into on-card firmware.

Sounds cool, if you ask me. Production Run 6 is starting to shape up
now too.
