They use similar mounting specifications but I believe the power supply
specs might be slightly different.  I'd be less worried about the durability
of 1/8" cords than 1/8" jacks.  Cords can be easily replaced, jacks cannot.

Not really true, since the forthcoming MOTM VC Pulse Divider is
microprocessor based.  Some of the current modules have logic gates in them,
so consider them analog/digital hybrids.

Larry and Moe have offered some MOTM style panels for Blacet modules.  Check
the archives.  You just missed the latest batch.

Look here:  http://24.12.85.234/larry/ .  MOTM style panels for Blacet,
Oakley and other modules, plus Larry's voltage switching modules.

It could use the same power supply with a cable adapter, but the panel width
is different and difficult to adapt to MOTM.  It's not really worth it
unless you have a number of .com panels.
