there are indeed 8 connectors. the 8th goes right to the front panel,  
for the front panel sync 24 output.

eh, it's merely a side effect of using octal buffer chips. each chip  
can buffer 8 digital signals, so it was either 3 outputs or 7. for  
some reason i thought 3 was stingy.

besides, there is no mismatch. the Time Buffer can support 6 Mini- 
Stores (with their 2 Shift Managers) and one Time Divider.
