Note 1: No other commands will be
available until the card has received
this hello.
Note 2: This command will also
enable checksums.
Note 3: Cards are designed to be
hot-swappable. To sync with the start
of a new command, the cards will
wait for a <lf> character before
looking for a valid command.
conf 0 - conf 0 *too long to list* Configuration settings
Retrieves the card's configurable
settings. Each addressable block is
represented by a single line. Dynamic
status may be included in response,
but is usually reported in info only.

Blocks with static settings only will
usually not be included, see conf

can be terminated at any time with
locate off.
