Wow, after many failed attempts to resurrect the Thecus, its back in action! Many thanks to:
http://onbeat.dk/thecus/index.php/N2100_Recovering_from_a_bad_config_changeDarn - still not back from the dead. I'll have to wait for Martin to release the new image in a few weeks. At least I've verified that I can connect over serial again. The USB serial connector won't work. :-(
My notes:
