We tried the A-164-1 with several modules. You are right: we overlooked the
A-113. I have tried the A-164-1/A-113 combination: if there is a bit more
than 6 HP left from the A-133 (only during installation of the module) the
A-164-1 can be mounted next to the A-113 without problems. The jumper of the
A-164-1 is located at a position where there are no parts or pc board of the
A-113. But one has to feed in the A-164-1 from the left.

For the next A-164-1 production series we will change the position of the
jumpers to the solder side of the pc board and use straight post pin headers
soldered at the bottom of the pcb.
