 Changes in the current code since fc-host-tools-r11:
 
-* fc-loadtool: added support for Am29DL640G/S29PL064J/S71PL064J flash found in
-  some historical Calypso phones and modems.
+* fc-loadtool: added support for Spansion S29/S71PL032J and S29/S71PL064J flash
+  chips found in some modem modules; historical flash chip Am29DL640G is also
+  supported as it is identical to S29PL064J for our purposes.
+
+* loadtools config: new -h gen8 target configuration is appropriate for many
+  "generic" or "vanilla" Calypso devices with up to 8 MiB of flash; this target
+  selection is appropriate for GTM900 and Tango modems.
 
-* loadtools config: added new targets -h leonardo and -h tango.  Leonardo
-  target support limitation: out of the many different flash chip types that
-  have been used on different Leonardo board variants, the only two we currently
-  support are Am29DL640G (8 MiB) and whatever was the AMD predecessor of
-  Spansion PL129J (16 MiB).  Fujitsu flash chips (or perhaps Spansion chips
-  with Fujitsu ID codes) are not currently supported.  Tango module flash
-  (S71PL064J) is fully supported though.
+* For operating on GTM900 modem modules, the new -h gen8 loadtools target needs
+  to be used instead of the old -h gtm900 config which has been removed; while
+  most GTM900 variants have 4 MiB flash chips, some have been found to contain
+  S71PL064J (8 MiB) flash instead.
+
+* For the sake of completeness, added new -h leonardo target to loadtools
+  config.  Flash support limitation: out of the many different flash chip types
+  that have been used on different Leonardo board variants, the only two we
+  currently support are Am29DL640G (8 MiB) and whatever was the AMD predecessor
+  of Spansion PL129J (16 MiB).  Fujitsu flash chips (or perhaps Spansion chips
+  with Fujitsu ID codes) are not currently supported.
 
 * A pair of little ad hoc programs has been been added to the FC host tools
   suite for the purpose of dumping the Calypso chip's internal DSP mask ROM -
