Thomas. You are in trouble. You list only includes currently available
modules. What about all the new ones coming out this year? You need more
spaces in that rack <snicker>
On your power distribution question: Use a nice heavy gauge wire to patch
over to your extra distribution board. I have some very nice 14 gauge
utility grade panel wire I would be happy to send you to make the jump if
you send me your snail mail address and how long you need it. I know it
seems like overkill, but the bigger wire keeps things closer to the true
ideal "star" configuration for power distribution. Plus this nice wire I
have is VERY flexible. You will need the crimp style (I solder them
anyhow) spade lugs (available anywhere, RS, automotive stores, good
hardware stores) to go on the extra power distribution panel. Since I have
no 900, I am not certain of the connection at that end. If you are in a
wood case, you can just screw the panel down to the wood. I am currently
in a metal rack, so I bought one of those cheap plastic project boxes from
RS and mounted mine inside (threw away the lid) and mounted that to the
rack. for me this was an easy way to assure that nothing gets shorted.
