∗Please∗ stick to the form that you have adhered to so well thus far. If
this is something that will duplicate functionality elsewhere in the MOTM
series (i.e. not essential to MOTM freaks), then please put the Synthesis
Technology name on it, give it the same look, do it in 1U, but please don't
give it a MOTM number. I think the MOTM stuff should stick with the 5U-high
form. I like the fact that, though I have the modules in a 19" rack now, I
can later build a wider cabinet. Or even narrower cabinets!
Please don't violate the standard you've already set.
(Don't know why this got me so worked up!)
