Cecil Yep, have checked TenTec for an enclosure
for both our project here and an enclosure for the UCB project which is hanging
fire at the moment. They don’t have what I really want at the moment. I think
we can come up with a pretty slick design for our uses as well as ‘stand’
alone ‘one off’ offerings, such as the GPS frequency standard I am
obsessing about. These would be based on Ironically the Rose stuff is from a paper
catalog that the Wolfoson Distributor left me when he brought the 8785 chips!
He is a pretty good guy for a salesman, however, his customers are Locheed and
Scientific Atlanta, so we are small potatos! Keep the juices flowing! Eric From:

enclosure also. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric

Comment) Steve Unfortunately not at the
moment, I’ll see what I can do. To get started on daughter card design,
the important thing in my description below is that the real estate we have to
use is going to be 2” by 4 Inches, with the 96 pin connector on one 4
inch side (Standard EuroCard width and about ¼ the depth) any connectors to the
real world on the other 4 inch side which protrude through the front panel.
Maximum height of components on the board must be < .75 inches per original
suggestion. I estimate raw costs on manufacturing a daughter board will be
about 16 – 20 bux depending on quantity. I am still googling
enclosures so the height of the backplane is still in question. I am trying for
Phil’s 4 board selection. Also motherboard stacking is still in question,
but will probably come out the bottom or the top of the enclosure. That might
be left on the MB in final design, but inaccessible from this particular
enclosure. If an enclosure with
vertical as well as horizontal slides is chosen, any additional length in the
enclosure (i.e. 4 inches in a standard eurocard enclosure) would have
vertically mounted boards to hold such larger components as power regulators. I’ll try to get a
concept drawing. I have found a Rose+Bopla
“Build a Box” which fits our approximate requirements, but I am
still searching. Also I have not found a distributor for these enclosures.
Anything OEM tends to be expensive, in small quantities.
