I had not planned another case so soon, but I had bought a 4ms Row Power 35 supply, thinking that my Row Power 30 was broken. Not broken, just the wrong regulator. 4ms Company sent me a replacement 5V regulator for the Row Power 30. Now I had a brand new Row Power 35. What to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I ordered a Make Noise 104 hp skiff without power, plus a distribution board. The board I wanted was out of stock, so Detroit Modular suggested a DOEPFER A-100BUS POWER BUS BOARD <\/a>VERSION<\/a> 6<\/a>. This bus board seemed OK and has 22 keyed headers. It even came with wires having sta-con connectors at each end. This was a good match for the Row Power 35, which has a position for an MTA-156 4-pin header, the same as used on MOTM. I cut off the sta-cons at one end of the wire bundle and attached an MTA-256 female connector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did make a mistake, orienting the power header so that the wires come out the left side, possibly interfering with the neighboring module. Photo below also shows the black banana jack I always add to my cases for interconnection with modules that use bananas. I will say that the Make Noise skiff is sturdy. The aluminum sides are thick. The ends are made of a circuit board type material, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Doepfer bus board has an odd mounting arrangement, with holes along only one edge. I mounted it on 1\/4 inch nylon standoffs, using every other hole, and added rubber feet along the other edge for support. (You can’t see the feet in the picture.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another bit of weirdness with the bus board is how the connectors stick straight up. This might not matter in a deep Doepfer case, but here it means the module in the middle of the skiff will have to be shallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
