Heh ,or the old ACC boxes (I think the Danube), where the original
design was to not have ANY front-panel LEDs. The 'managers' didn't like
that, so all they did was create a simple oscillator circuit that
blinked an LED.

The LED has NO correlation to the real status of the chassis. The
chassis can be locked up solid, and that LED will continue blinking
merrily.

With the exception of the old 3500XL series using 50% or more of the
CPU to drive the front panel LEDs :-)

(Yes, I know, EoL years ago...)
