Granted that this is probably a more convenient way to do a backup,
since you wouldn't have to remove the GPIO board to get at the
microdrive.  However I'm curious about how you would hook up a CDROM
drive without taking the top off the CCB? Maybe if we could find a way
to get access to the BIOS screen over the console port, then we might
be able to do a network boot, but otherwise wouldn't you need access
to the USB connector, inside the box?

Thanks. Feel free to do it by booting from CDROM if that's more
convenient.
