Subject: Re: [motm] Kit/module conversions

From: jimh54<jimh54@...>

I'd be interested in having a silk screened fron panel for a
darkstar. I don't yet have a darkstar but plan on getting
one. Does the panel come with the kit from blacet or should
I get a blank from Paul? Is it a 2U panel?
Thanks,
Jim
