You don't need to connect the two laptops together, just use
the one
you use as the serial terminal. The test uses the stty

This release contains a new .os command for checking what operating

at the ok prompt, and a rework of the test menu to assist deployment
repair centres. Test reports are encouraged.

No, that will make no difference.

As far as obtaining an XO, I may just end up purchasing an XO unit

Keep in mind that _today_ XOs don't ship with a workable JS runtime
environment other than the webbrowser.

The problem with the current location is: interference from

The rear facing storage LED is of less use, since when storage latency
is important to a user they are typically also operating the unit from
the front. There is no display backlight leakage that I can see
through the rear facing light pipes.
However, this mounting point would capture light
Putting the light sensor only on the rear could run into issues if the
screen is facing the Sun and the rear of the XO creates a shadow.
An ugly yet isolated place to put the OLS might be in the neck of the
laptop. But there isn't much room in that area. You would need two
openings since the

I did. Too many parts to change. Besides, the ears can be in any
orientation.
I also wondered about using the backlight as a sensor.
G'day,
Thanks to many testers over the years, we have finally figured out a
cause of incompatibility between Open Firmware and some common USB
devices, in particular hubs and USB FLASH drives with embedded hubs.
We have a fix, thanks to Bert and Mitch, but I'd like to see some
wider testing on
