It's a shame that the JTAG to PC interface has never been
standardised. But then, you get Webpack ISE for free, so I guess they
recover those costs in the cable.
I'm pleased you've come up with an alternative non-developer way of
reprogramming the board. I was going to suggest that a 'core' firmware
be developed that allowed access from the actual Apple II host, but
your solution is just as good, if not better.
