Hi E-Synthesist,
Both revB and revC have the same front panel connector

I used pins 7,8,9. these are for buttons. for LEDs I directly soldered to existing LEDs even without removing them. 

hint )
this cover came by default in external enclosure by AgeStar:

After some time of thinking do I really need it in addition to Mac setup I decided to speed up booting and OS response time and make it more reliable. This time I used production version of HxC floppy emulator (revB) but my DPX-1 still has own prototype installed. Sure, nothing could happen without E-Synthesist support and helping in preparing disk images.
