Those are not holes... they are polarity markers on the silkscreen for the connectors. I do have one concern about doing the extender with ribbon cable. It is rated for 300V and three of the card slots do have 300V on them. _

What is the pin spacing on the edge 5200a connector? BTW, I got in my circuit boards for the TM500/5000 and HP5370 extenders from China. They look great. I am now waiting for the rest of the edge connectors to arrive. They have been shipped... from the US. Should be here in a day or two.
