Just to clarify, there is a series-1 directivo also (SAT-T60). And if anyone 
wants to buy one, pre-hacked with ethernet, let me know. Its currently 
gathering dust. ;)

Series-1 and Series-2 is mostly deliniated by an architecture change 
(between mips and ppc) and capability upgrade (series 2 got usb, among other 
things. Series one just had an almost-isa-bus test connector buried inside 
the box.) There is a series 2.5, but I couldn't tell you off the top of my 
head why that is.
