The mini - poll for the new Mini-Wave layout ran 10 to 1 in favor of
the original layout with LEDs at the top. So the new panel design
will look almost exactly like the old, with the addition of a second
switch to control the second ROM, and rebadging to signify its status
as a Wiard/Blacet product. Image here:

panels on order. Those will proceed, and the panels should go to the
silkscreeners around the middle of June. Larry will ask for official
Mini-Wave orders soon, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind an email now
indicating what you wish to order, to help us gauge the interest.

I do have to make one design decision on the layout - whether to
place the LEDs in a row at the top of the module, as I did for my
Wiard version:
http://www.users.qwest.net/~daveb2/images/mw.jpg (please excuse the
crummy pic)
or to place the LEDs as on the Wiard/Blacet layout:
http://www.blacet.com/MWfp.jpgI don't think that keeping the Blacet format will allow me to mount
the LEDs onboard the pcb, because the pcb will set back from the
panel to allow the pots to mount outboard. So you probably will have
to wire each LED separately, for either layout.
If you prefer one layout over the other, email me privately - I'll
take a mini poll.
