OK, I just uploaded a blank panel .fpd file, 4 panel widths wide, IE
12" wide, 5.25" high, with screw holes 1.5" apart, 0.3" from the top
and bottom. I think that's right - can anyone confirm? (I'll check
tonight, in any case)

I'll bring a bunch of parts into work tomorrow so I won't indulge in
my usual bad .fpd habit of putting everything too close together! :-/

rs-232 port, of course, yes.

does anyone have dimensions for the lcd screen?
