MOTM

I searched the old messages and didnt see the answer i swear I've seen before 
somewhere...maybe it was on the Dotcom list, but as far as using the 995 board to power 
MOTM modules off a Dotcom power supply...
Q) Is it possible to run a module with a 4 prong power cable off of the 6 prong sockets on            
the board?  

I swear(but not by my modules' lives:) that I read it was possible as long as you made damn 
sure you oriented it correctly, attaching to the connector starting with the prong next to the 
"JP10, JP11,12,&13" lettering on the board.
the traces on the board appear to validate my thinking...but i'm not gonna try frying any 
modules on those till I hear fer dern sure....

P.S.-I just finished my wave warper last night, havn't had much playtime with it yet, but so far 
that beast makes the Zvex fuzz factory look like Pee Wee Herman against the Phantom 
Trucker!!!

Yes, but you have be *sure* you use the correct 4 pins !

I buy 2 pin red MTA connectors and put them over the +5/ground pins so 
it is obvious which 4 pins to use for the standard modules.

That's a great idea.  I've made the mistake once.  It only cost me an
opamp (I think) from one MOTM-800.  Was a simple fix and now I'm very
careful but this is obviously a much better solution.

opamps:)
