Larry,
It is not a problem here.  I noticed that you said that you were thinking of
requiring administrative privileges to perform firmware updates.  A firmware
update would, of course, affect only the Book Port itself and not the
computer.  Also, In order to perform a firmware update, you have to have
physical possession of the Book Port, which would probably mean that you are
the owner.  Given this, I don't understand the point of requiring
administrative privileges.  I am not saying that there is no point, I am
just saying that I don't know what it would be.
Thanks,
Scott
