My SFD's power LED never goes off. It's either green (normal) or red (error). 
During normal power up, this happens:

power activity  duration
red    red      2s
green  off      0.5s
red    red      0.1s
green  off      forever

When I remove the low DOS ROM, this happens:

power activity  duration
red    red      2s
<do>
green  off      0.5s
red    red      0.1s
green  off      0.5s
red    red      0.1s
green  off      0.5s
red    red      0.1s
green  off      2s
<loop>

So normal behaviour would be 1 flash, bad DOS ROM 3 flashes of power and 
activity LED.
