The hardwired connection I was referring to was the internal Jaguar connection; i.e. daisy-chaining is susceptible to internal Jaguar complications, whereas a backbone is less so (only the Jaguar on that branch will be affected). Sorry if that wasn't clear.

@Alan, thanks for that info - I hadn't been aware that that had been an issue. I'll keep that in mind when we play with Jaguars in the future.
