Hi all, I picked up my Eurorack ZO today from the post office. When trying to mount it in my Doepfer G6 rack, the following issues occured. 1) The 10p power connector does not fit on a standard doepfer bus. I do have some extra 10-16p cables at hand, but the lay-out on the ZO PCB confused me somewhat regarding the actual pin placement of the grounding. So I decided not to gamble on this. 2) The ZO module that I received is indeed too deep for a standard Doepfer G6 rack. Luckily, this can easily be overcome by loosening the screws on the side of the case which retain the alu strip on which the upper bus boards are placed. Rotate everything 90 degrees, and fasten the screws again, so that the bus board connctors now face upward instead of forward. This creates an inch of extra space in the upper row of the case that is adequate. 3) However, I was not able to mount the ZO module flush with the front of the Doepfer G6 rack, as the first ZO PCB board is fixed too low on the faceplate so that faceplate cannot be seated onto the lower mountig rail. The PCB sticks out 2-3 mm too much to the lower side. I am very interested in other experiences and possible solutions. Best regards from Amsterdam, Joost
