and a successfull Atomahawk installation as well. ;)

You might want to point out in the troubleshooting bit from the moog slayer section in the atomahawk manual that the 'aggressive resonance' switch might not work if the resonance trimmer pot on the board is adjusted lower than it should be.
I was convinced for ages that i'd wired something up wrong as the resonance wasn't going into self oscillation when i switched it on. After a couple of hours messing aroud with it i finally realised that if i just turned up the resonance on the board the aggressive resonance works perfectly. Whoops!

The only real issues i had with the Hawk was that the smaller IC socket ribbon connector kept popping out of the socket but i see you mentioned that in the manual. I might get a better quality socket asnd see if that helps, or cable tie it in.
