hi Tonko,
	Almost. Your channel counts are correct as far as I know (Except you meant 
36864 = 288*128.) However, the APV's will be organized as 8 per group instead of 
12 per group, owing to the detector/frontend configuration. So there will be 36 
groups, which will be read out with 6 crate segments (6 ARC) and 3 ARM per crate 
segment with 2 cable groups per ARM (as usual). 6 ARC, 18 ARM in total.
	For sure I hope to test the readout during the summer, and we should coordinate 
on that. September sounds fine to me.

        Gerard
