forgive me if I sent this twice ...

I was wondering how this board works.  

- Is it an extension of the 900 or is it a replacement board that provides more connections?  I'm guessing the former.

- how does it connect to the 960?  does it come with a bridge cable?

- can you mount it to the side of a case?

The reason why I'm asking is that I'm still considering how I'm going to set up my cabinet.  Right now I'm leaning towards 2 10 space racks sitting side by side.  I'll have the 900 mounted in the rear of one cabinet and I'd like to have the extension board mounted in the second cabinet.  I can drill a hole between the two cabinets to slip the power bridge cable through.

That is, unless I'm missing something ...

This is exactly how I have it set up, except that it's a single 
cabinet. Works great with the distribution board in the center and 
the power supply mounted in back and to the right (when facing the 
front of the cabinet). I have three of these :) and I need to build a 
fourth because I have a single 1U space left.  Which *may* 
*eventually* get filled with a new VCA module *someday* when it 
*might* come.

I use Paul's rack brackets, 4 to a cabinet.

To clarify: my cabinets are like two *5* space rackes side-by-side; 
each side holds 5 2U modules, so the entire cabinet holds 10 2U 
modules.  I have three, so that means I have somewhere around 30 
modules (actually more, since I have several 1U modules (actually 
actually, I *should* have *at least* one more 1U module, the new 
*VCA* except that it hasn't *arrived* yet)).

er, um, yeah.  So I hope that clears it up.

I'm guessing the former.

It is not a replacement board. It's like an AC externsion power strip :)

With an *additional* PWR-20 or PWR-30 cable (not included).

Yes. See the NAMM cabinet photos at www.wiseguysynth.com

Paul, since I ordered the 950 + 960, I guess I also need the 
PWR-20 or PWR-30 cable (what's the difference?). I thought 
it was included with the 960. Could you add one to my order 
please?

 Hi,
 I believe the only difference is in the length of the cable (20" vs. 30").
