Dotcomformat

Unfortunately, this is the case. I had chatted with him via email a
year ago about having the GR-371 built into a dotcom format panel, which
was not going to be an inexpensive undertaking. $700 for the circuit
boards (populated and tested), all the controls and switches) The main
hassle was the front panel, and someplace to put all the 1/4 jacks!

 Well, I moved, Grant is busy these days with cranking out those blue
and beautiful Wiard systems and modules - AND I found that the DIY 
community has been busy fermenting and refining a reverse engineered
version. I had always wanted to bring out the patch points anyway so..
long story short, it looks like it's going to be a DIY version for me.

 It might end up being just as expensive, but with greater flexibility
than the original and of course I'm not about to try to commercialize
something of this nature - it would violate Grant's intellectual
property rights.

 Cheers!
