(I emailed Doepfer a while ago to ask them how wide was a Eurorack

yep, it's the same standard originally designed for military /
telecommunications - it's probably an early NATO protocol.
we didn't decimalise until the early seventies, we still work in both
systems - the trick is not to get them mixed up ;-)
by the way, on the 50% discount front, if i've started with my own personal
system (can't wait) but would like to get a couple of the processing modules
for the studio where i work - does this count as an introduction..?
cheers
