I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get my A8 online. I left sort of an oddball question that I never got a reply on and haven't had time to delve further into it than that yet:

I'm still working towards connecting, just not easy when I'm having to pick out little bits of info from tons of posts over the years.
If I can figure it all out, I plan on writing an A8 guide. I have an 850 now, just trying to use a Pi for the bridge, instead of an Lantronix.
Keep up the awesome work man.
