In this example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the source file is being downloaded
to the destination device. The "C" characters indicate that a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
is being calculated during the downloading process. The CRC verifies that the file has been
correctly downloaded to the destination device (the Flash memory card inserted in
PCMCIA slot 0).
