Re: KiCad pcb file

We have to clean it up but we've got the pattern for a quad height prototype board. I can share the outline and edge connectors once it's 100% verified. Thanks, Jonathan On Tue, Sep 17, 2019 at 7:54 PM David Bridgham via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > On 9/17/19 15:00, Ed Groenenberg

Re: phone systems, old and less-old

One aspect of the RJ21 coding that's always puzzled me was the ordering of the colors. 25 pairs, where White Red Black Yellow Violet for each "bank" and within each bank Blue Orange Green Brown Gray So the first pair would be White-Blue and the last (25th) would be Violet-Gray Does anyone know
