OK. Yes, I can imagine this connector increases cost somewhat, and it may make sense to leave it off in most cases. But getting OGD1 with the connector is then merely an question of ticking off the appropriate box on an an order form, and paying the corresponding markup? > The connector we selected has two rows of 50 pins, and the spacing is > the same as a PATA IDE connector.

But if you wish to offer this connector as a part of a product, you need to specify a part number or a datasheet which says where pin A1 to A50 and pin B1 to B50 from the schematic go, and what the mechanical interface is. Otherwise you are not selling a connector but holes in a board. It's as if you are offering a software library wihout header files. regards, koen. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
