For all the woodchucks out there

1) The 8-32 x 1/4 black screws that are used with flat rails are here!
$8/100.

2) If you are planning a cabinet that holds over 22 MOTM modules, then I
*strongly* suggest getting a larger supply. I suggest the Power One model
HBB15-1.5-A. It is 1" larger in all 3 dimensions, but can power twice as
many
modules.

Available from Neward, Allied, etc. Surplus ones pop-up here and there as
well.

I will sell them for $69 if you can't find them.

Also, you will need a bigger fuse (duh!) in the fuseholder.

3) If you plan to use multiple 900PCB boards in a system, the *best way* is
to run
16ga. wire from *each* board back to the Power One. They way *I* would do it
is get a "barrier strip"
and connect the Power One to it. Then, run wires from the 900PCBs to the
strip. *I* would use crimp
terminals like what comes with the wire set in the MOTM-900. These terminals
are at any hardware
store. Crimping tools are cheap, too (like $6).

If you *insist* on daisy-chaining using PWR-20 jumper in-between the
900PCBs, then place the
current-sucking modules (VCOs, etc) in the board *NEAREST* the Power One.
Put low current stuff like
EGs in the "away" board(s).
