hello,

<< I noticed that the picture entitled "newback.jpg"
shows a power inlet and switch installed in the back
of a portable case. Is this a mod you are offering for
sale, or is Doepfer now offering the cases this way

>>

It was a special modification for a user but I believe
Doepfer will start offering it as a custom job. It
takes a bit more time to do and probably slightly more
money as well. Please contact your local distributor
for info. Sibille @ Doepfer once gave me the details
but I need to go back and find them in my flood of
emails.

<< This is a great mod, since you don't waste precious
hp on the power inlet module. >>

True, and also don't have the power cable hanging from
the front which is annoying. The only problem is if
you're gear is stacked against a wall, then you have
to move it all forward, and that's a hassle if you
have multiple suitcases stacked. But as always Dieter
is 2 steps ahead of us and has something else in the
works which will help this ;)

<< I've done a similar mod to my three portable cases,
except that one has a switch on the side and an outlet
on the front, and the other two have outlets and
inlets on the back. This allows me to turn on all
three with one switch.) >>

Sounds nice. I propose the outlet on the back but the
on/off switch on the front :) Or everything on the
back but moved over to the far side, not in the
center.

Thanks,
