Just FYI.. be also aware that adding a 2nd MEC will be fine sans external
clock, but a 3rd will require you buy a word clock. Also, the 2nd MEC may
want to live on EDS 2 or EDS 3. It's *generally* the last one, in your case
#3, but not always.
Make sure to use a quality word clock cable from the 1st MEC to the 2nd MEC.
