Re: Soundbox compatible board

Very interesting.

At first glance, I thought this was built around an original NeXT PCB, =
but then I looked more closely and realized that it's just the black =
solder mask that makes it look like NeXT Computer era manufacturing.

This product looks like it would fit inside an original Soundbox =
enclosure. I guess that begs the question, "How do we manufacture new =
Soundbox-style enclosures?" (assuming that there are not many originals =
left.)

If you use one of these, please let us know how it works out.

p.s. One of my favorite activities is creating new PCB designs that fit =
into old equipment, matching the placement of screw holes, mounts, and =
panel connectors.
