Suggestion for next version of DVI cape

GoogleGroups

I notice that pictures of the DVI cape show that the P8/P9 connectors are
not provided as sockets, just pins. This means that this cape can only be
put on the top of a capestack. The SRM suggests that up to 4 capes can be
stacked up.

Can I suggest that when the next version is produced, sockets with long tails
should be used rather than just the downward pin headers.

I have already suggested that.

I got the information that the upper socket was not present from the
Farnell web page:-

cape/dp/2075705

(sorry that wrapped).

The pictures and those in the datasheet show the problematic form. I suppose
they might just be old pictures, but it would be better to get the right
pictures if this was just a documentation error.

Does anyone know what is actually shipping?

The female socket should be shipping.

Excellent. If it is just Farnell who have the wrong picture I will let
them know, but I suppose the old image and datasheet might be wider
spread through the distribution chain.

The DVI cape that is shipping is the one featured at 1:30 in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qducgQ0jAHw
