- | Well, if you remove the big bracket from the Crimson Elan board set,
- | what's left looks suspiciously like a regular Indigo Elan board set.

- Nope; the Elan board is the same for the 30, 35, Indigo, r4k Indigo,
- and Crimson. You will need yet another adapter board to put the
- Elan into a 35 though. Remember that the 35 and Indigo are *very*
- similar systems at the board and architectural level.
-
- No way you can put the Elan on a 20 or 25 though.
