It’s so lame they changed the LEDs to meaning nothing.

I'd heard from my wife who worked at TMs that they did this so engineers would stop "wasting" time programming animations on those lights.

On the upside, this means you can run the LED boards without the rest of the CM-5. Have one panel that still works.

I'd love to be able to add 1U or 2U of blinkenlights to my rack, even if the pattern was completely random.
