Gerhard,

I'm slowly piecing together the missing pieces to get the crimsons up 
and running. Once I do, I can run some tests for you.

I did get the Challenge L up and running after pulling all the boards, 
cleaning the dust, re-seating the boards, power on, key on, went thru 
POST with flying colors and all. Just a very cool box. I need to 
finalise on my UPS setup, high speed internet and I should get it up on 
the net soon.
