[Avid-L2] Kona LHe

If your Kona will run with the 9.05 drivers that are on the AJA site now, it should work with Media Composer - We're running a Kona 3 on MC6 beta and very happy with the results. I happen to have a spare LHe (maybe even two?) that was pulled in order to switch to an I/O Express when Avid started supporting that with 5.5. I'll try the LHe over the weekend and report my (UNOFFICIAL) results with MC 6 beta.

Further, we've been given permission to speak about our 6.0 beta participation, so I'm happy to answer questions, at least based on my experience.
