hello all,

i think there's an optimum number which is the theoretical maximum number of
modules which can be powered, less a couple to allow for things like 181
keyboards. i designed each of my cabinets with this in mind - each cabinet
can be powered by one supply (unless it's full of 800s), with a little left
over for my 181
if possible, the MTA connectors could be given a little more space though...

on a personal note paul - could you email me that fed number when you have
it

cheers
