1. Create new module (named maybe AMC13) which manages a connection to AMC13. [Complete as of 05/17/12]
   1. retrieve from an environment variable (AMC13_SERIAL_NO) the serial number of the AMC13 and calculate the I/P addresses. If not set, prompt the user for the serial number.
   2. set class variables to default address table names (AMC13_AddressTable_x6_v01.txt where x is S for Spartan or V for virtex.) Check for environment variables to override (AMC13_SPARTAN_ADDRESS_TABLE) etc
   3. provide methods to access the serial no, IP addresses and address table names, i.e. amc13.serial_no(), amc13.spartan_ip()
   4. provide methods to connect to the spartan and virtex chips and return a PyChips handle for read/write operations
   5. modify eventually all scripts to use the above class (start with a test version of ipbus.py)
2. Rename scripts to remove version numbers. [Objective modified] -Modified task: rename scripts using synced version numbers within the amc13 directory. [Complete as of 05/17/12]
3. find_amc13_v2.py: Eliminate modified ChipsBus2.py, use try/catch instead. Add "row of dots" progress indicator as originally requested [Complete as of 05/17/12] -new script find_version_serial_no.py
4. Add python version check in amc13.py [Complete as of 05/17/12]
5. Modify flash programming to work with python V2.4 if feasible [Complete as of 05/17/12]
6. Exit after first error on verify fail in p_flash [Complete as of 05/17/2012]
7. Add warning or progress indication during delay while loading MCS file [Complete as of 05/17/2012]
8. Add dates updated and authors to all scripts [Complete as of 05/17/2012]
9. Add version number / date of revision announcement to all scripts. Rename scripts to generic names without version numbers.
10. Put file names for address table files in one line (use a variable in amc13.py outside function defs)
11. Test with latest PyChips (1_4_3?)
