MOTM-730 FAQ

2004-08-27 by Paul Schreiber

Trying to combine several emails into 1:

Q: What power supply connector is used?
A: The 6-pin one (95% of the current draw is off of the +5V supply)

Q: How big is it? How deep?
A: 2U wide, about 3 inches deep.

Q: Is this a kit or assembled only?
A: Probably a 'semi-kit': there is some soldering, and some of it will be
SMT/pre-soldered.

Q: When will it ship?
A: End of Feb. 2005. I wanted to finish up the R&D to verify parts I purchased
*years* ago were still valid. I will redo the output buffers (different IC) but
other than that it looks great.

Q: What's the deal with the '700' series of modules?
A: these are like the 'Don't know where else to put them" modules. There is
argument for making the '120 a "700 Series" module, but too late for that :) The
astute will wonder what's up with the noticeably absent "200 Series" modules.

Old Crow needs a SW tweak, then I'll have some demos.
