Hi Steven,

it wasn't clear to me if the docking connector would be premounted as
the datasheet shows the board with it on. I found out that the molex
part is discontinued but I think Altium still sells them in 9 packs.

I received an email response from Steve the other day saying he has
some blank PB04's and he wants to get some built. Waiting to hear back
from him on the details.

I also want to make my own peripheral board that will allow me to
connect the Carte Blanche to the available Apple II(x) bus types so I
am hoping Steve can supply me the daughter board info to accommodate
that as well.
