% USB-1208FS: Write a new serial number (an 8-character string) to the
% device. The serial number consists of 8 bytes, typically ASCII numeric or
% hexadecimal digits (i.e. '00000001'.)  The new serial number will be
% programmed but not used until hardware reset. As far as I know, the only
% use of the serial number is to distinguish multiple USB-1208FS devices
% attached to the same computer.
