hello gustaf,

there is a special cable available to connect both buss boards
of a g6 frame or suitcase, you will find it in the
doepfer price list.

afaik the a142 is not supported by the system buss,
but i'm not 100% sure. in any case a special ribbon cable can
be made to supply a link to the buss board, but you have to
do some soldering for it (connection from the internal gate
to the switch contact of the trigger input jack).
you can find more information on the doepfer diy page.

best wishes

ingo
