Thank you.

Would these Suitcase measures apply to the Half Monster Case too
"inside usable depth for A-100 modules: approx. 80 mm in the power
supply area (bottom right), resp. approx. 100 mm in the remaining
area (measured from inner side of the front panel until end of the pc
board of the module)"

My Plan B M15 VCO is 103mm deep... Maybe I it goes into the upper row
of the Monster Base Has anyone tried M15 in a Suitcase or Monster
Case
