Jack B., Lynne C., John H.  and I  attempted  to develop a list of areas
where the mechanical design would be most likely to affect the layout of
PC boards.  Of course,  changes  affecting PC layouts will be avoided if
possible.  However, these areas will receive close attention  before the
mid-January  board  turns.  Can you think of any  others  to add to this
list ?

	* Card guides which can acommodate thick and thin boards.

	* Possible need for mechanical hold down to stiffen processor board
	  at mid span.

	* +5 inductor and heat sink mounting.

	* Accomodating a possible keyswitch

	* Assuring proper alignment and viewability of switches and LEDs
	  thru the sheet metal and front panel.

How about

        * making sure that removing/installing the front access grill
          doesn't result in inadvertent toggling of the power switch.

        * If there are changes for the keyswitch, how about making
          room for a larger battery, something like the 150.
