MOTM has it's own form factor, completely different from Frac Rack. MOTM
modules are 5U high by whatever; all jacks at the bottom; 1/4" jacks; etc.
(Frac Rack is 3U high, 1/8" jacks, etc.)

Some people reformat other brands of modules into the MOTM format. This
allows them to have only one (large) format for all their modules. The
common way to reformat is by using "Stooge Panels", a list of which can be
found here:

New designs are added periodically, as the need arises. Contact Larry Hendry
(Chief Stooge? Stoogemaster?) for more info.

I hope this helps.
