The Cyndustries List

We've had a few serious ZOe challenges lately,
for example we have some absolutely stunning
 circuit boards here and I'm happy to say that
they fit the front panel and all of the components
 perfectly, there's just one thing however...
The 50-pin main connector was laid out in a
mirror image of what it was supposed to be,
(which is a fancy way of saying it was totally
Backwards!)

Another surprise is that we somehow misjudged
the depth of the entire assembly and after
assembling one completely we found it to be a
half inch too deep to fit the Buchla boats, (metal
enclosures).

This all seemed like a serious set-back until we
thought through the situation and realized that by
swapping around a few components we might
actually be ok if we use a 50-pin IDC ribbon
cable assembly in place of a circuit board, and
put a flip in the cable to correct the reversed
connector.  We believe this would also solve the
 depth problem, so I had to research and order
new part numbers and we're presently putting
the pieces together very methodically to be sure
we get it right. 

We want to get everything absolutely perfect
because after all... these are going into ~Buchla~
cabinets, and it will be an honor to have them
along side Don's finest.
