As for the hardware:
- usb is at most only there as a powersupply. Which is not correct as
the amps drawn should be negotiated between host and endpoint. There's no means to negotiate anything. Yes, people abuse usb like this a lot.
- As far as i understood the willem, from a quick look at it, you still
shift in a bit at a time, which makes the willem _extremely_ slow.
The latest willem from the site Corey spoke of, does have a USB version that is writable via USB. But again, firebrand does only parallel that I know.
To be honest, i haven't needed it yet, hotswapping is much much faster anyway and hasn't gone wrong yet.
So don't bother. You're only throwing money away. Just buy some roms.
I was hesitant, but glad I waited as flashrom works for me now. Besides, it was better option then any of the other solutions.
