Ooops!
I should have noted that the SFP004 is an add-in board for the Mega, not
an external package for an ST. Sorry guys/gals.

If code is correctly written per Motorola standards, it will execute
correctly on both '881 and '882. But code can also be writen to
exploit the 'parallelism' of the '882, and lose compatibility.
SFP004 is shipped ONLY with an on-board, socketed, '881.
