The A-112 was developed about 15 years ago and I don't have access to the
pcb layout software anymore as it was designed on an Atari ST. But I took a
look at the pc board of an A-112 and there are some GND planes that can be
used to drill mounting holes. You only have to pay attention not to
interrupt pcb tracks. But it's safe to drill into the GND planes.
A new and more modern sampler module is also on our to-do list but so far I
have no information about features or availability as it's in a very early
planning stage.

Best wishes
