I Finally Got my Pro this afternoon.  Exclamation   WHoopie 

I found holding the power button about 5 or 6 seconds sends the boot to the sd card,

I installed  'Disks'  from the Mobian software store  --->  Ran Disks to format the eMMC  

  For NOW I will test drive the sd cards  and eventually pick a distro for the eMMC.

I did a quick benchmark while I had the eMMC in the  "Disks App's sights", ---> 160+ write 180+ read,  not too bad.

---> an incentive to put a good working OS on it..   Big Grin

****
I did give the installed OS a test drive before nuking it, ---> IT Does FAIL the "Out of the Box" usability test.

BUT -- it got in the way in the end, everytime I restarted Mobian it came back as Manjaro. Problem solved.

****
Download the image, then I use Balena Etcher to flash my sd cards. --> I Highly recommend Etcher
