Oh, yeah, I forgot about this.

The radio is so identical, I couldn't find any way to tell them apart.
We do have people ask how to do the 7900 because it doesn't show up in
the download list, so registration would be nice, but I just left it
unregistered until I figured out what to do.

We could register it and hack the test to know that the 7900 is weird.
The problem with that is that people will download from their 7900 and
have it report the model correctly. If they save and re-open the file it
will say 7800. I was trying to avoid that potential confusion.

Maybe we should just nix the 7900 class and modify the 7800 driver to
say "7800/7900"? I hate doing that, but...
