question on the backplane configuration.

would i not be better to have the backplane on a 25 pin cable so that you have flexibility of moving it to a better viewing position?

also having the board out the back could lead to accidental breakage the plastic legs are easy to snag a cable when you push it back on the table.

i don't know if you saw my take on the backplane?

[Chris Davis]

You can do exactly that with this cable: https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-24-inches-2-54mm-Pitch-Extension-FR-2624M/dp/B0C6BLMXCR

[John Kennedy]

That looks great! Same size as previous?

[Chris Davis]

Yeah.  I want to make it available to retrofit on an existing Altair-Duino Experimenter.  If you want the full size, you'll have to buy the Pro (or whatever it ends up being called).
