Whats is actually bending when the card works out of the socket? We have some standard height brackets with a rib on the edge to limit flexing, unfortunately we cannot get stock LP brackets with the rib If the case/bracket are not rigid enough to prevent card motion, one possibility is pad on the case top that presses on the connector finger area of the top card edge Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
