The remaining problem I have with the rack mount panel is how to mount
the midi and din sync sockets so that they can be used either with the
unit sitting on the desk, or mounted in the rack - without taking up
extra rack space because the plugs need room to get into the sockets.
I guess the sockets need to either be moveable (like on those Mackie
mixers) or recessed well back from the top edge of the panel.
