Matt, That's good to know. Thanks for getting me that information.
I failed to mention that our ADC boards are the coax versions, so the cutting measurements provided on the wiki page do not apply. I know that the page suggest cutting two small rectangles for the ADC input connectors, but is there any reason why we couldn't just cut a larger rectangle so the x64 ADC could fit as well?
