Hmm. What happens if you don't? That is, what happens if you load a file
that just leaves them as spaces?
If you don't insert the 0x08 characters, then the words will simply run
to the end of the line (at 65 characters) and continue on the next line,
even if the word splits right in the middle. Like this:

That's an extreme example with very short lines, but hopefully you get
the idea. Replacing spaces with 0x08 at the appropriate places will
cause the words to remain whole and "soft" carriage returns will occur
in place of space where needed.

I'll keep fiddling with the machine to see if I can make it tell me the
firmware version that it's running.
