To All,<br>
<br>
The shipment of the 12-slot Extended Backplanes (for the Siemens
505-6508 case) arrived yesterday (1/27). I've been scrambling to
get the lot shipped out to those of you who ordered them. They
should all ship by today.<br>
<br>
Good News: the fit in the 6508 case is excellent. The alignment
notch holds the connectors in the proper position for easy card
insertion, and the two mounting screw holes line up perfectly.<br>
<br>
There are two possible clearance issues.<br>
1. The fit of the P2 (IBM PC 4-pin) power connector is tight.
Trim the pin 1 side as needed.<br>
2. Judging by the silkscreen outline, the coin cell battery
holder may be tight depending upon which socket is used.<br>
<br>
Now I am waiting for a dozen DIN 41612 connectors to arrive.<br>
