I'm aiming for a "real" release of ADTPro on it's first birthday next
month. Today's release represents the set of features I originally
set out to create (plus quite a few others along the way, but you know
how these things go). Help me find the remaining bugs if you would,
please.
The last holdout was bare-metal bootstrapping all the way into ProDOS
with no DOS 3.3 in between. I got that nailed down, so now I'm
done. :-) Never booted ProDOS over the cassette port before? Try it,
it's fun.

New functionality:
* Bootstrapping from bare metal directly to ProDOS
* Made serial bootstrapping pacing and speed
configurable - making much higher baud rates
possible (and reliable)
* Included a ProDOS disk formatting utility (because
you don't have any formatted disks yet, remember?)
* Saving any 140k disk at the host always creates DOS
order images; this increases compatibility with older
emulators that don't understand ProDOS order images
Bug fixes:
* Better recovery from ethernet initialization when there's
no Uthernet card in the default slot
* Cosmetic right-justification issue with online volume
block number display (extant since 0.1.1)
