It is interesting, the way the edge connector is curved. I wish I'd seen this done on more boards. Sometimes I want to use a hammer to assist in inserting cards. My Nicolet has two and sometimes three 80 pin connectors. Dwight

The front panel has nothing behind it...or at least, very little. I'm not familiar with the MAC-16, but either the ad has a mock-up of the machine(seems plausible given the tendencies of marketing), or the front panel is a real waste of rack space. The electronics appear to be in a box below the front panel, with only a small area of overlap between the electronics chassis and the front panel, and nothing but air behind it. Is this the way the system was really put together? Rick Bensene The Old Calculator Museum http://oldcalculatormuseum.com
