<font face="Arial,sans-serif"><font size="2">While the layouts may be
wrong for a PC they are right for a standard rack mount (not pc) .<br>
If the connectors are moved adjacent to the Din connectors you will now
ONLY have a PC mount.<br>
Not a board which may be mounted in either case (chassis).. VME and
cPCI all have their boards mounted with connectors opposite the
Din...They seem to still work..The company I work for, DRS-SS makes a
VERY good living using those type of boards.<br>
Contrary to what Alex mentioned ATLAS may still be mounted in a PC in
the normal manner allowing the boards to be inserted and removed
without removing ATLAS with the addition of a simple harness to the
back connector.<br>
If it is absolutely necessary to make these boards "PC" only then at
least KEEP the current designs as an alternate for the rest of the
world...and the Antarctic.<br>
<br>
No I don't have a SDR-1000. I have no vested interest in either method.
And no I wasn't here at the beginning. I do have a strong interest in
SDR and I just don't think a mistake should be compounded to exclude
other uses.<br>

comments.’ last week. I was taking your discussion as a project
board size discussion. And not looking at the ‘formal’ board layout
diagrams. Also was occupied with Dayton planning and Day Job.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">Many of you are new to the project, so were not in on the
early 2 month long Xylo discussions regarding case styles and
conformity.
We even had a Teamspeak session on it and agreed with the design for
the
computer enclosure mounting. The ‘outside world’ connectors MUST be
on the edge ADJACENT to the DIN connector! It makes no sense otherwise,
and is
the reason we went away from the custom Rose-Bopla case I was going to
buy for
the project. The Rose-Bopla design had the outside world connectors mtd
opposite the DIN connector and was TERRIBLY CONSTRAINED.<o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p>

size is just like Alex. It DOES allow for extending the board size on
top and
rear edges like Alex had shown, but we really tried hard not to exceed
100 mm
in the spec. I’ll try to hunt down the discussion in the archieves. <o:p></o:p></font></font></font></p>
