This is really good info John. Should save me some time when I finally get mine. I ordered the ProSyst card as well but I would like to see all of the open source projects running well also. When I get mine up and running we should compare notes and I will create some docs on the wiki. If you come up with anything else that needs to be documented or addressed fell free to reply to this thread or start a new one.
