Thanks Grant, I got it up and working yesterday. It's part of my birthday celebrabration so it was appropriate to hear it for the first time in the flesh (or perhap chitin) for the first time. Sounds wonderful, I look forward to spending much more time with it. cheers, Mark -----

Hi Mark, I'm glad it made it through the postal strike. The connectors have a locking ramp, the matching PS-500 connectors should have a plastic tang to engage it. Just be careful that all 4 pins are engaged correctly, and NEVER remove the cover of the PS-500 if the line cord is

Hi, sorry to bother everyone with such a basic question. I have forgotten how to connect up the Wiard modules to the Blacet power supply, or where that info was (I must have had it, I have 2 racks of modules). My hazy recollection is that red is positive. Can some kind soul confi

2007-10-24 by Grant Richter
It would be great if you could use plastic for faceplates, because they look so cool and the colors are very intense. Plastic dosen't have any shielding abilities, so you would need to have metal behind it. Printed circuit board material could have a shield layer on one side and
