| Come on now -- we've got people in this conference reverse-engineering
ESQ1's, coding up PDP-11's to produce every conceivable musical
form...we almost have someone sending a tape across the Atlantic
AND YOU LACK CONFIDENCE IN MAKING A MIDI LEAD?

| re .0 I think I have one, but its on a long lead, I'll check
tonight {if I remember}

| I've got one with a 90 on one end and a straight on the other. It
might be 2-3 feet long.
I'll trade you even for one of equal or better length.

| RE < Note 1258.3 by JAWS::COTE "Hey! You seen my datums?" >
Sounds just right. Can you check how much clearance it needs (I have
about an inch of play) and bring it in tomorrow? I'll bring one in and drive
down tomorrow, if you're free.

It should fit it an inch of clearance, once it's inserted....
I'll be off site all day tomorrow. Friday OK?

| 1258.6 | There are probably 4 versions | MENTOR::REG | Keep Right, ACcept being passed | Wed Mar 16 1988 13:55 | 2 |
| re .3 Is yours a right or a left angled one ?
re .0 Would it matter either way ?

Good point! I'll have to check on that tonight. I would assume,
offhand, that the shield positioning index should be on the same side as the
direction the cords vears off in;

| Hmmm sounds like you might consider a LERDS-BIM socket-rotating
adaptor. Originally designed to provide a 180 degree rotation
of your MIDI ports, it sounds like a market opportunity exists for
a 90 degree variety.

| 1258.10 | Another solution - probably not | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | MIDI DJ | Wed Mar 16 1988 16:43 | 7 |
| I'm not sure if I understand the exact nature of the clearance problem
but I've had problems with cords that stick too far out the back.
I've solved them by putting some washers on the screws that mount
it into the rack.

| RE < Note 1258.10 by DREGS::BLICKSTEIN "MIDI DJ" >
No, this unit is a drum module that normally lays flat (so that the
jacks go out the back), but, when the the rack-adapters are used, the jacks
face up toward the top of the rack.

| re .7 Mine's that way, i.e. it hangs down (doesn't everybody's ?)
Its the one coming out of my KX 88, so I'm using it, but could swap
if your need is greater than mine (which it seems to be.

I think I mayu have it worked out already. Thanks for the offer,
though.

this a try.

| STOP THE PRESSES! I was wrong about the direction of the cord. I ran
home at lunch and pulled the unit out of the rack. As it turns out, the
previous diagram is the only way it WON'T work (insert embarrassed grin).
So below are the only ways I can go...

Oh, you need a left-angle, up-angle or down-angle. Or, the
LERDS-BIM-180 DEG ROTATOR-THING. I'll look through what else I have.

Sorry to say that my other cables are, as I had suspected,
straight. So its the .7 drawing or nothing.

what I'll do... 8^)
I decided that too much of the rack was being monopolized by the drum
unit (it takes 5 spaces!), so I found an old rack-mountable shelf drawer that
was previously too deep for my rack, cut off the excess, and now can lay the
unit down flat in the rack. It takes up two spaces now. Which means I have
three spaces to fill...
