== Control System Computers ==
We will have a big multi-core box to run all of the front ends. It will have fast fiber links to remote ADC/DACs.

== Multi-wavelength Locking ==
Make wedges and coatings to accomodate multi-color locking if the lead time is reasonable. The beam from the end should not see the corner.

== Optical Levers ==
Make a fiber based OL delivery scheme. Try to also make 40m long OLs by putting turning mirrors into the vacuum system.

=== Suspensions ===
No change of the suspension analog electronics. We will have interface cards/connectors to go from new style ADC/DACs into the old analog electronics.

=== LSC ===
New RFPDs for the 9 & 45 MHz as well as 3*f1 (27 MHz). Maybe DD as well.

== Cameras ==
We'll have GigE cameras and an all GigE backbone for all CDS connections.
