A couple questions for Sawtooth owners:
1. What color is your power button LED? (Mine appears green - think
the LED is actually more of a yellow or yellow-green)
2. What is the approximate pulsation rate of this LED during Sleep?
(Mine is ~1.5 seconds for a full cycle of dark-brightest-dark again

hum. That pulsing rate would be controlled by the power manager,
