Thank you Dieter! This is very helpful, I fully understand the  
evolution of the product line and have no problems, the consistency  
of the module build quality and functionality over the 12 years is  
something to be very proud of. I haven't read the "subsequent bus  
normalling of modules" page yet but I imagine that to make my A-140  
work on the buss it is as simple as jumping a lead from the  
normalizing connection on the gate in jack to the correct pin on the  
ribbon cable header connection. I would love to have more than one  
gate transmitter on a buss (the A-190 and a A-161-1 for example). Is  
it as simple as replacing the wire jumper with a resistor. If not, I  
guess a A-186-1 or  A-166 is in my future rig. Thanks for the Info. I  
would love this to end up being a page on the site - getting updated  
with new modules as developed (I would bet it is there already by the  
time you get this message!)

Thanks again-
James
