Hi Dieter

Perhaps you could make the CV/GATE extension cable (A-100BC) a little longer?

I built my 6U from your excellent DIY kit and eventually bought an A-100BC to extend CV and GATE to the 2nd busboard. But I had mounted my two busboards far enough apart in my case that the A-100BC cable was about 3 cm too short.

I extended the A-100BC by soldering in an extension, so all is well. But I thought that the A-100BC could be maybe 50% longer for chumps like me who build their own cases ;-)

Thanks for a great system by the way...loving your new quad VCLFO.

The length of the A-100BC cable adapted to distance between the bus boards
our cases (A-100G6/P6/P9/LC6/LC9 ...). Usually the distance between the bus
boards is in the same range as the front panel height (i.e. about 13 cm). We
assumed that ~20 cm length should be long enough (that the usual lengt for
the A-100BC).

Yes, that is what I guessed. Next time I build a case I will remember to space the busboards by 13 cm ;)

Thanks.
