I would like to suggest that, if at all possible, we include both the Blacet/MOTM 4 pin +/-15v power connector. and the Synthesizers.com +5/+/-15v 6 pin connector. The board could allow for the optional +15 to +5 regulators when using the 4 pin connector. Some of us already have +5 in our systems, and generally, no matter how much ANYTHING you come up with will use (short of a room heater), the +5v supply is never anywhere near being used to it's rated output. I note that some of the newer MOTM boards also use a seperate +5v supply. I bring this up in part because of the LED/LCD/VFD discussions, and partly because the MPU in consideration has requirements for +5v, and I really don't want to add more +15 to +5 regulators to my already stressed out +15v supply, when I have 4-6A of un-touched +5 just sitting around asking to be used.
