The timing crystal is soldered in because it is far more reliable to do so. Part of the TWGS's reliability problem comes from improperly seated parts that work themselves out of their heatmonger expansion card as you turn the machine on and off. Latest version should be 1.03, although they may still be shipping 1.02's until the first batch of 1.03's get back from the board maker. Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu
