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). Paul S.
