Yeah, it was absolutely incredible to see that clock being generated for the first time. That was the first module we powered up, since it's the easiest -- just give it 4V and 14V power inputs, and it should start clocking. But it was also a scary one, because that's one of the three potted modules in the computer, so trying to fix it would be difficult. And the design review book for the computer has nothing good to say about the durability of one of the components in it.
