Hi,
Yes, it must be the Modcan B panels. When you say "physically
different" do you just mean how they look?
My dad and I are going to build a cabinet adapted from the Dotcom
instructions with two shelves with 9U to each shelf. I may have to
show my dad a few pictures beforehand though of modulars in general
seeing as he thought the modules were being fitted horizontally down a
rack. Interesting idea though...
I've started designing panels with the Schaeffer Front Panel Designer,
even though I doubt I'll order them. I'll probably use Ray Wilson's
print and glue method.
I'll be going to Maplins for pots, etc. or maybe ask my school's
electronics teacher to order some parts in from Rapid for me.
I'm begging someone to do a Frequency/CV converter and envelope
follower module in a kit, Analogue Systems do one, but I can't be
bothered to get another PSU and re-panel the module for the cabinet.
Thanks,
Finlay Shakespeare.
