>Just a little bit of foresight on RS's part and their modules could have= been plug and play. They had to make the connections different so one has to build his own ribbon cables. Why they did this when they know people will use them in Doepfer systems, who knows. I also heard (can't verify) that even the= screw hole positions are slightly different and you need to redrill.< These two problems Elhardt points out are fact but his solutions are a bi= t off. I agree it was silly to use a different bus cable, however RS can supply = a different cable which plug and plays just the same as the Doepfer one. The hole business is a bit more annoying. I don't think it would be a goo= d idea to drill on your RS faceplates. You need to leave a small gap (less than 1hp) between the RS and Doepfer modules or a friend of mine has cut his track so he could position his screws where he wanted them. Chris
