Subject: 1U tall *Modules*??!?

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...
Date: 1999-11-23

Time for an opinion poll:

Let's say that a super-ultra-mega-cool module was in in design that could be
either 3U wide x 5U tall, or 1U tall by 19" wide.

In the 19" wide version, the advantages would be:

a) optional "wall-wart" supply for non-MOTM customers
b) more features than the 3U wide
c) easier to build, due to mechanical reasons
d) cost would be probably $30 more. Say $219 kit versus $249 kit in 1U tall.

I really don't want 2 versions, and right now ∗really∗ tempted to do it as a
1U to get
possible more sales.

It's more of an effects thing (ie like a '410 is an "effect")

Well?
