[Orion] Orion I firmware

The solution, sadly, is to reload v 1.372.  That's what many of us
have done.  This beta version is way too much "beta".  Sad, because it
shows a lot of promise.

AN worked OK for me, but the SP situation was unacceptable.

Would anyone like to start a pool and take a bet on when the next
non-beta Orion 1 version comes out?  Probably not soon, or they would
not have released 2.054b.
