Sorry Ron and all -- I was a little slow in getting it posted to the site.
It's there now!

Rick:  I keep getting a "404" error when I click the link.

You're probably right about the difference in the 565 and 566 updates
regarding the QSK.  The slightly different platforms may have dictated
different approaches to QSK, and the 565 may have needed a few more tweaks
on the v 2.x to get it comparable to the 566.
