Even though the XLT architecture is very close to several other boxes
that do have SRM consoles, it would be very dangerous to assume the
latter would work on the former. Console code is concerned with very
minute details of the hardware, and even slight differences could have
unwanted side effects.

It's best to keep using MILO with XLT, as well as XL.

Sorry.
