[rescue] Octane motherboard

Thanks Shawn. I saw that auction but decided to pass. I paid about that
much for my entire R12K (EES) system!! Reputable systems also have them,
but they want 650USD.

It might be cheaper to wait and buy a whole new system. Apparently some of
the later Octanes sold before the transition to Octane 2 have the newer
board in them.
