According to the PBL API it does --- I need to investigate the
disassembly and find out what's going on. (Ralph, I don't suppose you
have your annotator script handy, do you?)

Even at 100 Bps it would take just under 24 hours to download it all,
and I was seeing 66 Bps when PBL was (attempting to) access the NAND
flash --- which makes it 35 hours --- so I don't think I'll try that
just yet. What I would like to do is to download the 8kB page containing
the startup code, which will give me some space to play with custom
code.

Provided I can work out how to reflash it, of course.
