Hi guys,

I have reviewed Barry's gerber files for the Atlas-2 and it offers the
same quality and features  as the original Atlas-6.

As Henry mentions, putting different connectors on the OZY and JANUS
will make them incompatible with the Atlas-6 backplane and would only
apply to those who have opted for bare boards.  The people who have
assembled boards do not really have the option of fitting different
connectors so Barry's Atlas-2 is a great solution.
