[QuadList] Backwards extenders and boards...was:Quick question - GVG video DAs

Don,

Try putting the board in backwards in an AVR-1 24V power supply because the little plug is missing in the socket allowing you to do so.  It will take weeks to get it all up and running.

--------------- Such is not the case with Ampex Colortec/Amtec/ProcAmp. The extender will only go in one way, BUT....the card will then fit on the extender either way. I did that, but only once, about 35 years ago! There was some escape of magic smoke.........
