Hi Joost!

We designed a right angle PC Board adapter to shorten the overall depth 
of the
Euro ZO (also good for the Dotcom ~portable~ cabinets) and these new 
circuit boards
arrived and we are busy soldering all of the 96-pin connectors onto them 
right now.
They work great!

We also now provide 16-pin Doepfer Power Cables along with a Doepfer-to-AS
Power Cable Adapter with each Euro Zeroscillator.

The circuit boards right behind the front panel are now a lot narrower 
in their
top-to-bottom height so as to allow flush mounting of the panel to the rack.

We're working this weekend on how best to service the units in the field as
most likely we will send out new front panels with instructions on how 
to easily
swap them.  Fortunately these are all simple fixes that do not affect 
the electronics
or calibrations, so it will be easy.

Thanks so much for your feedback!
