Alexander:

What is different about this new setup, compared to before?
Did you just change the order of the boards, or did you change
something else?
Or is this the first time that you are running this system?

What versions of software are you running in the boards?
The original factory loads, or have you updated them?

If you take Penelope off the bus, and just run Mercury and Ozy,
can you get any sound out of the Mercury card?
