- We have an R4000 Indigo XS24Z, which is a very nice machine, but we
- need to test our software on other configurations. What I would like to
- do is remove various pieces of the hardware to reconfigure the beast into
- XS24, XS, and Entry. Two questions:
-
- 1. Do I need to change jumpers or do anything to the hardware other than
- remove the boards?
-
- 2. Which parts of the software have to be reinstalled when the config is
- changed? Since this is a temporary change, I would like to have different
- versions of the necessary files on-line and rename them as needed.

- Thanks,
