true, and i'm really grateful you pointed out everything else that you
wrote as well.

that having been said, it's only when you get down to the nitty-gritty
that you suddenly go "haaaang on.... errr.." and hopefully not "oops"
:)

in this case, it has to be said that i forgot to put in the spec "the
RGB/TTL tracks must all be of equal length on both sides of the
EOMA-68 interface".

whoops, i'll add that now.
