	Hmm. So how did they do it? Did they connect a cable from
the RGB port at the back into the FireCracker board itself?

Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
