Alex,

Since the DIN41612 is usually mounted on the top component side we
probably should stick with using ISA brackets.  I think I addressed
this in an earlier post last week.

The big problem is that if we use some standard bracket it will then
dictate the external connector layout.  In some cases this will be ok,
in others like the JANUS it will not work.
