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. Paul S.
