I won't speak for Grant as to what may or may not be in the Wiard 
product pipeline, but as someone who was hung up on the banana 
jack / congruent appearance issue for far too long (at significant 
personal opportunity cost!) I will respond to your format questions. 
Grant is a wonderful inventor and a great guy but the sort of 
customization you seek simply requires too much alteration to his 
existing designs to be time- and cost-effective for him or for his 
customers. His efforts are better spent filling standard orders and 
working on R&D for his next good idea. I suggest that you simply 
bite the bullet and get a Frac Rack. I have had no issues 
interfacing 300 or 1200 modules to my Serge and Modcan A series 
systems. I have the grounds of my respective power supplies 
connected together, and with a few 1/8" to banana cables and a 
couple of 1/8" mults with one banana jack each I've never been at a 
loss for routing audio and control back and forth. Perhaps some of 
his future designs will be more easily convertable to banana jacks, 
but in the meanwhile don't risk missing out on using his superb 
modules over what are ultimately rather trivial differences in 
format preference.

Best wishes!
